I'm trying to create an installer package for my Samba port in OSX
It is sort of working, but I still have a few problems.

After I have installed all the binaries etc I need to run a script.
So I looked at some packages and it seemed pretty simple. I added a Samba.post_install script and started experimenting.
But whenever the installer reaches the script, it simply hangs. It stops and there is nothing I can change about it.
I simply do not understand why it is not working, should a add a line to info or something?

This is what my old non installer scripts did.

Code:
echo SAMBA=-YES- &gt;&gt;/etc/hostconfig

PORT_NUM=901
PROT_NAME=swat
INETD=/etc/inetd.conf
SERVICES=/etc/services
NIUTIL=/usr/bin/niutil

change_inetd_and_services ()
{
        local [port_number]
        port_number=$1
        echo "#" &gt;&gt; $INETD
        echo "# SWAT configtool (Part of Samba)" &gt;&gt; $INETD
        echo "#" &gt;&gt; $INETD
        echo "swat      stream  tcp     nowait.400 root /usr/local/samba/bin/swa
t /usr/local/bin/swat" &gt;&gt; $INETD
        change_services $port_number
}
change_services ()
{
        local [port_number]
        port_number=$1
        echo "#" &gt;&gt;$SERVICES
        echo "# SWAT port (Part of Samba)" &gt;&gt;$SERVICES
        echo "#" &gt;&gt;$SERVICES
        echo "swat              ${port_number}/tcp" &gt;&gt; $SERVICES
        $NIUTIL -create . /services/swat
        $NIUTIL -createprop . /services/swat protocol tcp
        $NIUTIL -createprop . /services/swat port ${port_number}
        kill -HUP `cat /var/run/inetd.pid`
}

grep $PORT_NUM $SERVICES &gt; /dev/null 2&gt;&1
if [ $? -eq 1 ]
then
        change_inetd_and_services $PORT_NUM
else
fi

And some permission changes. Not important ;-)

So for testing I let the script do something simple as:

Code:
#!/bin/sh

ECHO=echo
CP=/bin/cp
MV=/bin/mv
RM=/bin/rm
TAR=/usr/bin/tar
SED=/usr/bin/sed
CHOWN=/usr/sbin/chown
CHMOD=/bin/chmod

$CHMOD -R 757 /usr2/local/samba

But it is not working. It simply freezes.
Tried some other operations too, and nothing worked.

If you want you can take a look at the package here: http://home.student.utwente.nl/d.har...staller.tar.gz
Whenever it installs it installs in /usr2 and /Library2, so you can easily remove it.

There must be some people out there who know how to do this.
Anything from solutions, todo's (Not scott anguish's one, i know it by heart

) and e-mail adresses of developers who have done this for there own product are welcome
