How do I create a directory from within a postinstall tool that is unlocked? I had assumed that since the package was running with root permissions and since the installer has authorization, the directory would be created with unlocked permissions. Attempting to set the owner or group or permissions on any created dirs after they are created also fails. - Which API and methods do you use to to change the owner, group or permissions?
