1) Please don't install your daemon in /System/Library/LaunchDaemons; use /Library/LaunchDaemons instead.

2) Make sure the archived file has the right owner and permissions when you build the package, and that the bom also lists the correct owner and permissions. Don't let PackageMaker apply its recommended owners and permissions.

Hi,
I want to install a daemon on leopard.
i am using packagemaker 2.1.
After several tests it seems to me that the daemon start if i put
a file in /System/Library/LaunchDaemons directory, named
myfile.plist.
but it seems to me that the system launchs the daemon only if the file
myfile.plist has as owner root:wheel.(while everything works fine on
Mac osX 10.4 regardless the ownership of the file)
Is there a way for me to change with the installer the ownership of the
file? Please consider that sometimes i have to install the daemon on
machines which do not have root user enabled.
any suggestion
thanks in advance
Filippo
