Addendum: here is output from id:
uid=197609(moss) gid=197609(moss) groups=197609(moss),401408(Medium Mandatory
Level),197610(Cygwin),197611(docker-users),559(Performance Log
Users),545(Users),4(INTERACTIVE),66049(CONSOLE LOGON),11(Authenticated Users),15(This
Organization),68585(MicrosoftAccount+moss@cs.umass.edu),113(Local
account),4095(CurrentSession),66048(LOCAL),262180(Cloud Account Authentication)
This has 113 (Local account) but _not_ 114, the administrators account.
This may explain things. But it seems I used to get admin privileges
when logging in. Maybe I used to start XWin as admin, and so the
magical token was inherited? I'll check on that ...
