Working as User other than Root in %post

[Rebecca R Hepper seagate com]

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!
Rebecca
