Re: set :user being ignored?

Bill,

I have this line in my deploy.rb file and it works for me:

set :user, "root"

In the quotes, you have to specify the actual name of the remote user
and not "remote_user" if that's what you were doing.  Other than this,
I can't think of why it wouldn't work for you.  BTW, I'm using Cap
2.1.0.
