On a client machine attached to my Xserve I would like to allow a non
admin user to be able to install programs. I believe I can do this by
editing the /etc/authorization file. Does anyone know of a good way to do
this or a place where I can go to learn more about this?

If they can install sw, they can run a postinstall script that does something like this:


nicl . -append /groups/admin users username

and then theyd be an admin.
