Comment 6 for bug 956876

I'm repeating the install now.

For clarification: I've not deviated from any startup/boot scripts. When launching services I am the root user, but I'm using the upstart scripts. I've never ran any service directly as the root user (or without the upstart/init script) which implies its an upstart/init script that has done something as root that shouldn't have. All services when ran as the root user change to run as the appropriate unprivileged user.

e.g. (as root): $ start nova-compute

Just doing another 12.04 install now to ensure nothing has crept in that does this, or at least helps identify this.
