#5966: USER variable in SetupEnvironment doesn't always match the passwd file

Currently /boot/system/boot/SetupEnvironment always exports the USER
variable as baron. This confuses some software which tries to look up the
home directory based on this and can't find a baron entry in
/boot/common/etc/passwd. Perhaps it should look up this information with
something like:
{{{
export USER=`grep :0:0: /etc/passwd | cut -f1 -d:`
}}}
