Hi,

I had a question, I noticed that if mesos frameworks request that executors use 
a certain user, the env variables aren't set up for that user, but what the 
agent daemon was run as.

As an example:
Run mesos-slave as root:
HOME=/root
USER=root

If I have an executor to be launched as testuser, the env looks like:
HOME=/root
USER=root
instead of:
HOME=/home/testuser
USER=testuser

This is normally set by login or sudo when running as a user, but I can't seem 
to find a way to use these to set up a proper environment as the target user. 
Is there a reason we don't call getpwuid() to set a $HOME during setup of 
execlp() from executor.cpp? (Oh, and might as well populate $USER while we're 
at it)

Thanks,
-Hansel
