Ah, yes.  It's recommended to run Tahoe as a user with no privileges on the
system.  The only files it should be able to read/write are the ones in its
own working store.  Some people even install it in a chroot jail, though I
find that to be too much work.

Is this something that wasn't well-documented, or was it documented but you
just missed it?  If the former, then we should probably see how the
documentation can be improved.
