Preparing the package contents

We need to change the ownership and permissions for the PrivilegedHelperTool and LaunchDaemon before adding them to the package project. We can use the Terminal.app (found in /Applications/Utilities/ on your Mac) to set the correct values. Replace /path/to/ with the path for each item. You can also drag and drop the file you are looking to set into the terminal to get the path.

PrivilegedHelperTool (com.ibm.cio.be.PrivilegedCommandsHelper)

1. change the ownership for helper: sudo chown root:wheel /path/to/com.ibm.cio.be.PrivilegedCommandsHelper
2. change the permissions for the helper: sudo chmod 755 /path/to/com.ibm.cio.be.PrivilegedCommandsHelper

LaunchDaemon (com.ibm.cio.be.PrivilegedCommandsHelper.plist`):

1. retrieve a copy of the launch daemon
2. change ownership of the property list file: sudo chown root:wheel /path/to/com.ibm.cio.be.PrivilegedCommandsHelper.plist
3. change permissions of the property list file: sudo chmod 644 /path/to/com.ibm.cio.be.PrivilegedCommandsHelper.plist

PostInstall script

1. retrieve a copy of the post install script
2. add the execute flag permission to the script: sudo chmod +x /path/to/postinstall
