Note that something like this is required for the same user to have
multiple 'sessions' on the same machine, otherwise they would always
connect to the one hub bearing their name.  A (future) extension might
be to allow a list of users access to a particular hub (e.g. via some other
env variable), this would allow for an app to be shared amongst users
(insert some clever server example here)
