postflight script on Leopard

Subject: postflight script on Leopard
From: Geoffrey Hutchison <email@hidden>

I have a postflight install script for my Spotlight plugin. Since stand-alone Spotlight plugins need to be installed into /Library/ Spotlight, I have set the install package to run with administrator privileges.

On the other hand, the postflight script calls /usr/bin/mdimport which refuses to run as root.

Is there an easy way to "drop" admin rights for a postflight script?

Thanks very much,
-Geoff
