get real home directory #171

Closed morph027 closed 7 years ago

morph027 commented 7 years ago

We are running workstations with powerbroker active directory integration, where the home directory is somehing like /home/local/$DOMAIN_REALM/$USERNAME, so the scripted version throws errors due to nonexistent default home dirs.

But the path is still $HOME, right?

This happens for root (in scripted apt context), see #101
