The Package I'm making needs to do a few things. 1 Copy a specific version of Microsoft Messenger into the Applications Folder 2 Put in a plist into the /Library/Preferences location 3 Run a bash script that installs certificates into the X509Anchors Keychain (located in /System/Library/Keychains/X509Anchors location I can do Part 1 and 2 Successfully. Part 3 is giving me all sorts of problems. The script is titled "postinstall" and requires root level access. Here is a copy of the script. #!/bin/bash sudo certtool i $1/Contents/Resources/BCMRootCA.cer d k=/System/Library/Keychains/X509Anchors sudo certtool i $1/Contents/Resources/BCMEnt1CA.cer d k=/System/Library/Keychains/X509Anchors As far as I can tell, the script does not run on install even when I setup the package to require admin or root access. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, and some suggestions would be nice. Thanks Kevsteelio _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
