arbitrary IDs with available UID 0?

Hi,

The doc says that you are allowed to create auth objects associated with any
IDs if you have euid 0, and the code actually allows it even if only auid 0.

(Because isroot() uses isuid() and isuid() allows both).

Is the code wrong or the documentation?  I think we should fix the code.

Thanks,
Marcus
