Well, if you set NeedsAuthorization to NO, installed items will belong
to the current user, not root. However, you will not be able to put
things in locations where you'd need root access, like the UNIX folders
or /System (not that you should be putting things in /System anyway).

Hmm... so that basically means that PackageMaker is useless unless I
want to install things as root. Well, at least I'm not the only one who
can't get Use Usermask to work. It's kind of annoying though because I
guess users of my app will have to drag things into the appropriate
folders themselves. :(
Can anyone from Apple explain why that function doesn't work? Is it
actually possible to make a package which installs with no problems and
doesn't install things as root? Do I need to set the permissions with a
post install script or something?
