[Casper] run script as different user?

[Jeremy Matthews]

You know, the funny thing is that we tried that but our test machine  
wouldn't respect the command.

I'm guessing at this point that since the script has a lot more  
running inside of it, it needs further dissasembly....something must  
be silently failing or changing it back. I know at one point we had a  
pseudo-security daemon that looked for new files, and would change  
them in whatever way that consultant saw fit (before my time).

But, we have re-run ownership (standalone) and it does fix the issue.  
I think the set of setup scripts we "inherited" may need....further  
study.

Thanks,
j
