The GID is correct. It is so high because it is actually an active directory group. So, does anyone have any idea why the gid on the installed application is showing up as something different? Is there a maximum gid that the Package Maker can deal with? Unfortunately, the CPIO file format that the installer uses for the archive is limited to 16 bits, with a maxiumum UID or GID of 65535. Usually this isn't a problem because very few installer packages need to set explicit uid/gid values that aren't standard system values. This is tracked by radar bug: <radar:3999229> installer archives (CPIO) have only 16 bits for UID and GID fields This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
