[p4] p4 triggers executing as?

[Robert Cowham]

I always explicitly pass the user to use to my trigger framework as a
parameter.

I also have an option to dump out existing settings on any failure
(particularly password related) as it has bitten me so many times in the
past :) 

See my version of P4Trigger.rb

If not using such a framework, then dump out "p4 set" and "p4 info" as the
first thing to see what it is finding/picking up.
