One more thing comes to mind: It is necessary to set the x bit for folders. If you create the directory tree and then recursively chown and chmod all files and folders then it must NOT remove the x bits for all folders because for folders the this bit means "directory is browseable". the installer should do: * chown root:root the folder and everything inside it * chmod 0755 the folder and all sub-folders * chmod 0644 all files inside these folders * chmod 0755 your executable file And then the application itself must be written in such a way that it can run without problems under these circumstances which should be easily possible (if its not an admin tool itself like for example mount that needs special privileges anyways to do anything useful). _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
