I accidentally closed #1533, so this replaces it with a single commit.

This looks good to me. 👍

@harshavardhana this doesn't look to be in master at https://github.com/minio/mc/blob/master/utils.go. did it get moved in a more recent commit?

Yes i created a comprehensive package pkg/user which 'mc' inherits now. and uses 'user.Current()' - https://github.com/minio/minio/tree/master/pkg/user

@harshavardhana just an FYI, three deis v2 components will be using mc, all in docker containers with DOCKERIMAGE=1 set. In my testing it's been working very well.

I will be investigating whether it would be useful to run the minio server with that env variable set as well.

You could use our official docker container.
