site_archiver@lists.apple.com Delivered-To: Installer-dev@lists.apple.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 We're seeing a problem with our Installer on Leopard that seems related to security, but I was hoping someone here might know what's going on. Our Installer includes a postflight script. The Installation runs authenticated. The postflight script is written in perl. During the postflight script we want to execute a tool that is part of the installation package. Naturally the tool needs to run as root for it to do it's work. On Tiger, this work beautifully. On Leopard, the tool is not even loaded or run. We added a sleep() to the beginning of the tool. It's never executed. If I move the tool to a standard location (ie /usr/bin) and specify that in the perl script, the tool runs fine. If I run the tool directly from the shell using sudo it runs fine. However, running the script from the shell using sudo also does _not_ work. What new security feature have we run into? How to do we handle this situation? Thank you for your help, ...Duane -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP Desktop 9.6.3 (Build 3017) Charset: US-ASCII wsBVAwUBR5fyPUrg9acQ4r2CAQjWzQgA5qANvqaEh9Nq6Wbn0h2CcYKCyrZ07lY8 KpDXzMupemXX1ww6d8tWfLjPcRgV+VxokXYV6DHrd2bca8/JZa5bVm/q4XczmmMZ 1gWhkFUdyM1d4xw/MX5CDxPA6bFmBrOLMotfWd46JXobKMK+T4G1xsMgtHNoWCZP pfVgD5vq7RKctvBkby1YEgDlZaqSxTURvWWmU/Ah66+BvRTikPzbTj4WS+OBNEaN FDLqPYet+afySR/p7iWRBJ+Gqj04NBLV8Ba/WP/dT1NU8YyXRx2fa27SqWfjNDyw CN40DoCchmxyykGlUbFR7CbCZv5cKOpcE6UAeY1j4dTFfPPio07l7w== =u/wg -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
