Hello All, In the %post section, I add a user called 'jason' then I copy over some *.tgz files from the NFS server. The owner and group for those files is root. If I change the owner/group to 'jason' and untar the files into /home/jason, all the files are owned by jason but the directories created are owned by root. I suppose this is because I untar them as root. I need those directories to belong to jason. I could do a chmod on the directories but I was hoping there was a different answer. My question is......is there a way to 'login' as jason and untar the files in the %post section? Thanks!
