Linux - user home instead of the root home

[aminya]

If you use untildify in a Node process started as a root, it expands to /root/. Is there a way to expand to a user's home instead?

One way I can think of is to use process.env.SUDO_USER

You can also downgrade from root. I assume you're using root to be able to use port 80.

#1 could be a solution for you as you could pass in process.env.SUDO_USER.

I don't think this package should have special handling for root. Some users might actually want the root home directory.
