But it needs to touch a file in a restricted space on the hard drive. The problem I am having is that no matter what requirements I put on the package (admin/root permissions) the plugin always seems to be run as the installing user rather than with elevated privileges. I have a rough work-around in place in running the plugin after the install phase runs with a script to pave the way, but this leaves the permissions in a state I am not completely happy with. I am using Iceberg to make my packages (can't seem to figure out how to do plugins in PackageMaker... didn't try long), and I have tried digging around the original installer to see if that is packaged any differently, but I have not found anything. Anyone have an insight for me? Installer Plugins are plugins for Installer.app so they are run with the current user permissions. A possible woraround is to have your plugins save some data in a place where a postflight script (or executable) could read it and do the job. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
