The open works like any of the other commands, it inherits the
credentials that the ring was setup with. Same with the memory context,
file table, etc. There's currently no way to have multiple personalities
within a single ring.
Sounds like you'd like an option for having multiple personalities
within a single ring? I think it would be better to have a ring per
personality instead. One thing we could do to make this more lightweight
is to have rings that are associated, so that we can share a lot of the
backend processing between them.
