Merge lp:~pwlars/charms/trusty/adt-cloud-worker/acw-charm-exec-user into lp:~canonical-ci-engineering/charms/trusty/adt-cloud-worker/trunk

[Paul Larson]

Run the worker as a normal user, rather than the user that was used to install the code.

Use a different user to run the worker than the user that was used to install the code, so that there's no risk anything in the worker can be used to modify itself.

Paul,

Well done and great timing!

It will only work after https://code.launchpad.net/~cprov/charms/trusty/adt-cloud-worker/uci-nova/+merge/252769 lands, moving the security setup (specifically the ssh-keygen) to adt-run, which will run as the worker user, instead of "root".

Paul,

Thanks for fixing the conflicts and investigating if there isn't anything better than "sudo -u xxx" for running jobs as a different user. We will have to wait for upstart 1.4+ ...
