OK, I'll bite. What does this have to do with cocoa programming? Perhaps it's time to visit the physician.

How would I make a program that always runs with Root access, but doesn't
ask for administrator authorization every time it's launched?
I've been working on the docs and example code, and it appears that I always
need said permission, contrary to the docs. After setting it's UID Bit, it
still requires me to authorize to execute it.

You shouldn't be able to. If you find a way, it should be reported as a security bug to Apple.
