Can you add to the validation in start of testsuite, if no $USER env.variable is
defined, the whoami is used or some warning is shown?

This environment variable is not used, if a valid configuration exists, but in
case of creating a new configuration from scratch, the check commands are done
as a $USER user. If no such user is set,then every try to login as user "" will
produce a couple of stretch messages in testsuite.

In the config.tcl file within the config_testsuite_root_dir function, there is a
condition to see if checking for the $USER environment variable fails, but there
is not condition to see if this variable is empty.

Added check to see if $USER environment variable is empty before installation
continues.
