Isn't OpenSSH using it to generate keys? Running PostInstall outside the sandbox might be ok. The sandbox was a neat idea but I don't know if its actually helpful. Allowing the package to define the holes in the sandbox effectively removes the sandbox. Unmanaged_files makes sense for recipes because we're fighting upstreams "make install" but PostInstall is entirely ours. In order to keep R/FileHash clean, PostInstall should only modify Settings. If we remove the sandbox, anywhere but $target. -- Carlo J.
