permissions - package layout

Hello,

I've had a bit more of a read and think and wouldn't mind some clarification of my current thoughts if possible!

- Keep all files in the app bundle owned by 'root' with group 'admin'
- Keep writeable files out of the bundle if possible. If they do have to be in the bundle, keep them owned by 'root' with group 'admin', and add 'rw' for 'others'.


Our app needs certain files to be rw for EVERYBODY who uses the application.

- Store those files in /Library/AppSupport/RS/. Make them owned by 'root' with group 'admin'. Add 'rw' for 'others'.

Regarding PackageMaker and setting up owners and groups

- Should I definitely do this in the temporary structure first - and not use the PackageMaker interface?
- I was thinking that I'd prefer to not set the owners and groups within my temporary package setup folder - not being a *nix guru, but I think that'd mean that I'd then need to cleanup using sudo or logged in as root? Maybe that's not so bad....


Thanks,

Peter Lee
