Let me correct myself: s/nosetuid/nosuid/

We're really talking about the same thing.  From what I understand (and
someone please correct me if I'm wrong), "fs setcell" would have to be run
everytime you (re)start the client.  The SuidCells automates that.

Without that file, ThisCell is still setuid, and all others are not.  You
have to know to touch that file if you want the nosetuid behavior.
