Jon --

I did not know about distributed objects. Thanks for the tip! It looks like it has the potential to solve many of the problems that I came across. One question, though: how does Distributed Objects allow you to tell the helper when to quit? Do you just put the helper to run in a loop, or what?

I only use pipes to bootstrap the communication between main app and the helper - by this I mean the helper's PID, the flattened AuthenticationRef (if needed) and some problem specific info. After that I'm using Distributed Objects for all communication. It makes executing code in the helper really easy and the helper quits when I tell it to quit.

I was wondering how to get around this limitation, or if there's a better way to do what I want to avoid the problems I've been having. The other minor question I had is how I prevent the helper tool from quitting, so that the user doesn't have to authenticate to relaunch the helper tool and perform more admin-priv operations (which is why I even started trying to code the helper tool, anyway).

If anyone can provide any guidance with these issues, I'd be very grateful.
