okay, I have found a workaround. What I am doing is basically I am
starting a shell script by iZPack with normal user rights postinstall.
This shell script calls an Apple Script which calls another shell
script (actually it is the same shell script just with different
parameters), and this Apple Script asks for user elevation. The shell
script runs then as root. Works like a charm.
Is there any interest about how the shell script and the Apple Script
looks like? Maybe this can be handy for some iZPack scripts?
Regards,
Nik
