I mean the short name (not John Doe, but johndoe or jdoe). Also, what is the UID on the account (on each machine)? We deal with managed environments, so the UID is consistent across all Macs (longish AD string). Lastly, is there a reason the payload can't simply be owned by root:wheel (the standard we use)? :) Don On Mar 5, 2010, at 5:54 AM, sakshi wrote: > Hi Don, > > The user:group do exist on the machine. In fact when I see the pmdoc on my machine, files are labeled root:admin and on the buggy machine (the staging area and) the pmdoc contents get set to the user's username:admin. I was under the impression that the staging area would define what does into the pmdoc and finally the pkg. This situation seems to differ from my opinion: the pmdoc gets set from the staging area but the pkg has a mind of its own. > Does the fact that packagemaker is being invoked from the commandline and not the UI have any impact? > > Thanks, > Sakshi > > On Fri, Mar 5, 2010 at 1:40 AM, Don Montalvo <donmontalvo(a)gmail.com> wrote: > sakshi <heysakshi(a)gmail.com> wrote: > > > Hi, > > > > I am running into a very weird issue while building a pmdoc and need some > > help with my basics.

For example, if you set user to "jdoe" who has UID of 504, but there is no UID 504 on the target computer, this can happen. It happened last week when I was testing a new pkg. Since it happened before, I recognized the problem. I changed the user:group to something that's on every computer. Then tested again and all went well. > > Don > _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.

Installer-dev mailing list (Installer-dev(a)lists.apple.com) Help/Unsubscribe/Update your Subscription: http://lists.apple.com/mailman/options/installer-dev/site_archiver%40lists.… I've been using FileStorm for the past several years, and I have been pretty happy with it. Much easier than trying to do everything by hand. And, yes, FileStorm allows you to create a customized DMG with a background image. Does anyone know a good alternative to the DMG Canvas program? I have been having problems getting the file names to show up if I build a DMG Canvas 2.0 project using Snow Leopard and their backward compatibility option. My file names won't wrap around, and they seem to be forced fit to the width of the icon, so with size 64 icons and 12 point font, I can't eve see the entire word "Applications" under my alias. I've emailed the DMG Canvas supplier and I hope they will respond, but I know I will be asked about what alternatives were tried if we can't get the problem fixed.
