[one-users] Improving openSUSE package

Hi,

After recently updating the OpenNebula package in the openSUSE Build 
Service for openSUSE I am now trying to improve the package a bit and 
make things a bit more user friendly. Also I'd eventually create a 
mostly pre-configured image, but one thing at a time.

The setup-guide http://opennebula.org/documentation:rel2.2:plan advices 
to use /srv/cloud/one as the oneadmin users home directory. However, it 
appears that /srv/cloud/one (actually /var/lib/one for SUSE) contains 
(needs to contain) scripts that launch VMs on the cluster. This 
directory also gets exported to cluster nodes.

I think these scripts should still owned by root, while the oneadmin 
users home directory should be owned by oneadmin. Thus IMHO this would 
set up a somewhat unconventional owner ship strcuture where scripts 
inside oneadmin's home directory are owned by root.

I guess there are two approaches, 1.) separate the oneadmin's home 
directory from the directory that contains the scripts (any harm in 
that?) or 2.) let oneadmin own the scripts (any harm in that?)

Thanks,
Robert
