We use Packages for our software installer (flat format), and noticed with the most recent OS versions of 10.7 and 10.8, the permissions we set for a created folder in Application Support now get ignored - if I set it to 777 in Packages it comes out 744 in the Finder. Also we have a plug-in within the installer that used to be able to create folders with 777 permission in Application Support but it no longer works- are these new security measures imposed by recent OS versions?

I tested this with a flat package creating a folder in /Library/Application Support/ with permissions 777. Upon installation, the permissions are 777. (*) Have you checked the permissions set in the payload/bom using Pacifist? * if the folder already existed with different permissions, it would require the Overwrite directory permission options to overwrite the existing ones. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
