Authentication Panel to accomplish our goals.
If you are talking about running a daemon, see the information about
StartupItems available on Apple's website, in which case your installer
application asks for authorization. On the other hand, if you are
talking about an ordinary GUI app, it must ask for the authorization on
its own (As per the other 3 replies in this thread). You don't EVER do
anything as root without asking the user first.
