Bug Description

When using start-stop-daemon with -c / --user option the current user detection method would think it was still running as root, which would create a session directory called oe-sessions-root with permissions for the actual posix user.

When running multiple instances of openerp each would try to create/use this directory '/tmp/oe-sessions-root' but only the first would have the correct rights for accessing it.

hello,
do you think it is a bug of openerp or in the script you use to start your service ?
imho, you shouldn't use start-stop-daemon.

Even though it might not be the best solution, start-stop-daemon works and the code that detected the current user running openerp was easily confused, the merge proposed can now handle this user swapping better AND still works as originally on non-posix platforms.

Should be fixed in the 7.0 branch, we're now using os.geteuid() to detect the current euid, and falling back on the environment-set username (on windows)
