[Casper] run command as current user via casper policy?

[Clinton Blackmore]

I've attached and pasted FixOfficeDefaults.sh, which does just the  
sort of thing you are looking for.  IIRC, I never did get it to show  
an error in the Casper logs (although you can see that it tries to);  
but, it does find the user and run defaults for them.

Cheers,
Clinton Blackmore
