Need help with setting installer on root:wheel
I'm a little stuck here and need some help, story is i'm one of those unlucky one with problem updating installer to 3.1, so i manually ssh it into my touch, running on 1.1.4, now it works but i get this msg saying installer should be set to root:wheel..
Does anyone know how i set this? i've looked around but i just can't find any info on it, i found something bout UID = root and GID = wheel? not sure bout it but I'm using winscp and i tried ticking the two boxes next to them under propertise for the installer.app folder, the octal changes to 6755 then when i go ok however, it doesn't change, the boxes gets unticked.
so am i doing something wrong? or am i suppose to do something else first?
Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance.

To change the owner and group properties for directories/apps/files you'll need to open up the directory in PuTTY and execute a chmod command.
I forget the specific commands though so I guess I'm not much help. You'll use "chmod root /Applications/Installer" to set the owner but I forgot the group.

Close, but the correct command is chown, change ownership.
You should run something like this
if you feel you want to change the group too, then do thisCode:chown -R root /Applications/Installer
It's kind of silly to put it into the wheel group, but if you want go ahead.Code:chown -R root:wheel /Applications/Installer
I would suggest
be the command you run.Code:chown -R root:admin /Applications/Installer

Reason: unsafe use of relative path libarmfp.dylib in /usr/bin/chown with setuid binary
