What I cannot figure out is where the 47275 gid is coming from.... lsbom Archive.bom inside the pkg shows me a line that looks like this: ./Applications/Application.app 100775 0/115587243 82 40377167 -- Kirk Gleason Systems Engineer Finelight Strategic Marketing Communications 812.339.6700 -- Knowledge-Definition Warning: Because knowledge is defined, for the purpose of this e-mail, as "justified true belief"; the writer cannot prove that they "know" any of the information provided within this e-mail to be true, correct, complete, or consistent because they cannot demonstrate their internal belief states through the principle of Philosophic Privacy. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.

Hello all, I am relatively new the Package Maker stuff, and the package that I am currently working on is by far the most involved one that I have ever done. Essentially, I am trying to develop a package for an application and relevant ODBC settings. The ODBC part is working like a charm, but for some reason, the permissions on the Application itself are getting out of whack when I install it. I have the permissions set the way that I want them in my package root, and they look like this: When I install the package on a test machine, the app in question ends up with permissions of 775 root 47275. Now I am not entirely sure what all of those numbers are, but I have figured out (or I think I have) that the first number (100775) is the permissions for the file, and the second (0/115587243) is the UID/ GID. 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? I am installing as an admin on the machine, and it is a domain account. If I run `chgrp -R 'AD\domain users' Application.app` the permissions adjust as they should, so the test machine does recognize the 'domain users' friendly name, and the gid is exactly the same for domain users on my development box and my test box.
