site_archiver@lists.apple.com Delivered-To: installer-dev@lists.apple.com I'm confused... The original poster is hoping for the "death of Admin Authentication" and the response is that "(Admin authentication now always requests a password.)" Doesn't this mean that Admin authentication is still around???

That's the extent of the Installer.app changes. (Admin authentication now always requests a password.) Cool.

If the package says "AdminAuthorization", the installer now runs the "RootAuthorization" code. This means that AdminAuthorization and RootAuthorization packages ALWAYS ask for an admin password before installation commences. (The old case was that if the user was an Admin, AdminAuthorization packages did not ask for a password.)

Also, has the documentation for the installer been updated with the new behavior?
