Hi

There is a small issue with home folder permission for image owner on Linux 
reservations.
Capturing process doesn't delete image owner's home folder when a Linux image 
is captured (Linux.pm:delete_user() mentioned '# Do not use userdel -r, it will 
affect HPC user storage for HPC installs'. )
Then when owner makes reservation his/her home folder has incorrect permissions 
which breaks login (xrdp doesn't work and SSH gives error about accessing home 
folder). 
The fix is simple - become sudo and run chown on /home/username folder, then 
logoff/login.

I think it will make sense to execute 'chown $username /home/$username' during 
reservation process to make sure that current user has full access to home 
folder.
This problem only affects image owner user. Looks like it only happens when 
image update involves adding a new users (ie. install a package which adds new 
user account).
