site_archiver@lists.apple.com Delivered-To: installer-dev@lists.apple.com Hi All, I don't mean to beat a dead horse, but we are close to deciding what to do when our preflight script finds wrong permissions or owner when checking /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/ and it's parents. Here are the remaining questions we have boiled down to: 1. Should we just aspire to the same degree of permissions/owner repair that Disk Utility does, i.e., not care about the owner on "/"? BTW, DU does not fix a bad owner or permissions of /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/. I know some of you have said that DU should fix the owner of "/". 2. If the user's system already has permissions/owner settings that are insecure, are we creating any additional insecurity by installing a daemon into a structure that is already compromised? Do we have a responsibility, as a third-party software installer, to fix this situation? Thanks for your input. We will make our decision this evening, Pacific time.
