afpd doesn't, does not need to, run setuid root. And on most systems,
it's not an error to setuid your current uid. When I'm debugging afpd,
I often run it as myself. The number of glitches is really small.
Like, afp/tcp needs a reserved port (someone mentioned the
work-around), quotas probably won't work, the password file might be
shadows.
