@krancour I think we are running as a non root user ?

Does not seem it:

[kent@mbp ~]$ k exec -it deis-builder-5qn00 -- bash
bash-4.3# whoami
root

But let's hold off on doing anything with this until after the Dockerfile's been refactored for Ubuntu Slim-- which I am working on. Otherwise, there's just going to be an unresolvable merge conflict and we'll make extra work for ourselves.

Yeah I think openssh is running as root in order to bind to port 22.

@krancour I think the new ubuntu slim image is not running builder as root . Let me know if this isn;t fixed

bumping from RC1, as this is not critical for the RC

From @krancour on May 24, 2016 20:2

That's fine.

The server itself is still running as root, so this is not yet resolved. All processes should be run as non-root. If any of them are compromised, the user has root level access and could break out of the container onto the host.
