One approach - that is probably easier than messing with the
configuration of a packaged (.deb/.rpm) version is to simply start a
build slave that happens to be on the same server. Basically all you
have to do for this is set up ssh keys so the jenkins user on the
master can do passwordless commands as the target user on the target
system (you can use ssh-copy-id for this), and set up the node to be
started by ssh. Everything else pretty much takes care of itself and
the builds happen in the home directory of the target user. It won't
matter if that is on the same host or elsewhere.
