Ken:
I did try to use a postflight script to set them. The problem is
that if they are wrong, Tiger will give an error message. If you
choose Fix, the permissions are set correctly, then the system will
hang during restart. If the postflight script sets the correct
permissions, the error message does not occur, but the system hangs
during restart anyway.

I am working on a G5 iMac with Tiger 10.4.1 (both updates)
installed. We have been using PackageMaker as our installer for
our aMac Digital Radiography OS X software. PackageMaker was
working perfectly under 10.3 and some of the developer versions of
10.4.
In the last pre-release version of Tiger (the same one that was
released to the public), we discovered a problem with PackageMaker
installing a file to the /Library/StartupItems folder. We did
file a bug report, number 4112817 which has not yet been responded
to.
The problem is this: When our application is installed, a restart
is required. After the installation is complete, and the Restart
button within Installer is clicked, the computer begins to shut
down. All of the icons disappear the the Finder is closed. At
this point, the system hangs and will not continue to shut down
the rest of the way, or restart, unless I manually turn the
computer off via the on off switch and manually turn the computer
back on again. As I said, this problem did not exist on any other
OS X version, except 10.4 and now 10.4.1.
One other thing we discovered...if the permissions of the
installed file in /Library/StartupItems are not exactly the same
as the /Library/StartupItems folder, Tiger will throw an error
that says the security settings of a file in /Library/StartupItems
must be repaired. It gives the option to fix, decide later or
disable. Clicking fix gives a dialog that the repair was complete
and you must restart. Clicking the restart button gives the exact
same results....icons disappear, finder closes and system hangs
until I manually turn the computer off, then on again. If the
permissions are correct, the error dialog does not appear, but the
system hangs as I explained earlier.
Can someone give me a suggestion as to what I can do, if anything,
to either stop this problem or work around it? Most of our
clients have upgraded to Tiger and it doesn't go over with them
very well with respect to manually turning the computer off, then
back on again. Help on this is appreciated.
