Is it possible to put a password on the installer package ? So that only i can (or anybody who knows the password) can install using that package ? I have PackageMaker 3.0.2

Not as far as I know, but what you can do is to put it inside an encrypted DMG. You can do this manually through Disk Utility, or do it from the command line:

hdiutil create -passphrase "$PASSWORD" -srcfolder $SOURCEFOLDER - volname $"VOLNAME" -encryption AES-128 $OUTPUT

Anyone can "show package contents" and double-click the Archive file and get the contents out. (Things are only slightly more complex with flat packages.)

So making an encrypted disk image is about as good as it gets. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
