The way I understand roaming users is that when a user is authenticated, their
IP address is added to open-smtp as an valid relay address. authvchkpw then
updates your tcp.smtp.cdb file with *both* the open-smtp (roaming) and tcp.cdb
(permanent) contents. Becuase vchkpw has to write to these files, ownership
(the user that tcpserver is running as) is critical.
