Hi when trying to download modules i get the following Warning:

This is run by a less privileged user, if I run it as root there is no problem. The modules seems to be downloaded and working.

I am hosting Drupal sites and would like to provide drush to my users via ssh.

I don't think this is a drush bug, but more a permissions problem on your server.

Check the directory:
/home/SOMESITE/

with:
ls -l

It should show your file permissions. If you are running drush as a user that doesn't have write or execute permissions on that folder then it's probably not going to work out for you.

This is drush with a hardcoded path.

The user does have full access for the folder so that is not the problem.

Hardcoded could be a problem

I have encountered the same problem. I am new to drush, but it seems to occur when you use drush with one user, then switch users to use drush on a different site as a different user. When I look in the /tmp folder, I find the cache.inc file located there with user1/user1 permissions for owner/group. This causes owner2 to not be able to use cache.inc. Is there a way for this to be changed so that cache.inc will be put and used in /home/USER1/tmp/cache.inc? That would ensure that each site will have its own cache.inc and take care of the permission problem that is occurring. I have temporarily fixed it for myself, by deleting the cache.inc file, logged in as root. This allows it to be recreated with the new permissions.

I just did a quick dirty fix my problem i just chmod 777 the /tmp/cache.inc so that everyone has read/write access to it. But the best thing would be if drush could place the cache.inc in the home folder of the user executing it. This will prevent this from happening.
