Hi
Actually, what happens in my RPM building & releasing is ....
I am creating the RPM in a seperate box as some user, and then i am trying to install the RPM on a different box as user 'lis'.
So while installing, it actually searches for the user who built the RPM, and since it is not there it takes root as default.
I cannot guarantee that the user who built the rpm will be present in the release box, but i can ensure the 'lis' user will be there and i want lis to own all the files installed through RPM .... :)
Hope you got me...
Thanks
Lis

If user "lis" exists when installing the rpm, or if you create user "lis"
in the "%pre" script, this should work, I never had problems with it.
