We have an app that uses a helper tool to do configuration with MoreSCF.
We are using the technique in the MoreAuthSample to copy the helper tool to
a temp directory before setting privs on it.
However, we have a test system running FileVault. On this system, we always
get the dreaded kMoreSecFolderInappropriateErr.
Our code first tries to copy the helper file to the application support
directory followed by the temporary directory (straight from
MoreAuthSample).
On the system with FileVault installed - BOTH copies fail because the
"MoreSecIsFolderIgnoringSetUID" fails.
I would assume that since FileVault puts the users home directory in a
pseudo-disk image, this is causing the "ignoring setUID" problem.
Has anyone else seen this (10.4.7) and any ideas for workarounds?
