Is this a custom package or downloaded from vendor site? if it is custom package, I would suggest you look into the package as to what ID is this script running as. I know you are root and adding the package, but within SVR packaging, you can change all that to make another user install and layout the files.

Also you may need to look at prototype file within the package to see who is the targeted owner of the file/dir that is being created.

If you do have access to the package contents, you can use pkgtrans to get the prototype file. Make sure you read man page of pkgtrans before you use it.

NAME

       install-solaris - install the Solaris operating system

SYNOPSIS

       install-solaris

       install-solaris	invokes  the  Solaris  Install	program. Depending on graphical capability and available memory at the time of invocation,
       install-solaris invokes either a text-based installer or a graphical installer.

       The following minimum requirements for physical memory dictate which features are available during installation:

       For SPARC machines:

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       384 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       512 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       In some cases, even if the minimum physical memory is present, available virtual memory after system startup can limit the number  of  fea-
       tures available.

       install-solaris	exists	only  on  the Solaris installation media (CD or DVD) and should be invoked only from there. Refer to the  for more
       details.
