EventSharing.pkg cannot be installed - after the target volume is
selected, it says "You are not allowed to install the software in the
default location on the disk ...". Installer.app does not ask for a
password. It is started as a user that belongs to group admin.

Doing ls -la / returns (among other things)

drwxrwxr-x 80 root admin 2720 May 9 11:27 Applications
drwxrwxr-x 35 root admin 1190 Nov 3 2002 Library

Stuff in /Library looks good as well:

drwxrwxr-x 8 root admin 272 May 2 12:37 PreferencePanes
drwxrwxr-x 19 root admin 646 May 9 11:32 Preferences

(I have updated the permissions on the Library folder so admin can
access it.)

I have tried to set NeedsAuthorization in Resources/EventSharing.info
to 'YES' -- still can't install.

I could copy the files from Archive.pax to the appropriate directories
with no trouble whatsoever.

I tried version 1.4 on OS X 10.2.6
