Hi,
I think I've got a patch that fixes the postflight script on 10.5.
There are two things that I fix: first, ps axww seems to for some reason
list lots of processes on 10.5. I will freely admit that I don't
understand the options to ps on OS X or any other platform - I just kept
pulling arguments one at a time until it seemed to do the right thing.
The other change causes pathsetup.sh to run with the privileges,
environment, and shell scripts of the user that is being sudo'd to.
Currently, pathsetup.sh will try to write to /var/root/.profile as the
normal user, which fails for obvious reasons.
