Post-Install Scripts with User Input

[lance mcgrath abbott com]

I'm fairly new to RPMs, but I've been compiling one for use on several of our internal machines.  So far, I've loved the capabilities I've found within the spec file, specifically the use of shell scripts in the post-installation.  However, in one of my scripts I modify system files, and I would like to prompt the user before so doing.  When I issue a "read" command in the spec file, though, (and the script works fine if run from a normal shell environment) the shell does not wait for user input, but simply continues on to the next line.  Can anyone tell me why, and if so, how to get around that?

Thanks in advance!
Lance
