As I read 4/6, the token is built only at login. Would a mapping that
user space cannot give then stay missing for the whole session, so the
session does not match ACL entries naming that mapped SID until a new
login gets the mapping? If so, could the text say that? For a deny
entry the session could then get access through another allow entry,
though that part would need a fix in 4/6 rather than in the text.

Thanks,
Ian
