We want to execute our updates in the background, but they require
authentication. I've tried creating a script with setuid set, but the
installer still complains that it needs to be authenticated. I then
wrote a tiny C program that execs my script, and prints the effective
user ID, but it still complains.
$ ./a.out
Real UID = 501
Effective UID = 0
Real GID = 20
Effective GID = 20
installer: This package requires authentication to install.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!
