Thanks for the link, it is very helpful.
This article details an approach which is not recommended (uses
AuthorizationExecuteWithPrivileges, which for one will require that
people type their password every time they want to perform a
priviliged operation).
Apple has detailed sample code which, whilst perhaps a little obtuse
in places, should be fairly easy to follow. There is no "pure Cocoa"
way to do this, largely because a lot of the issues involved are a bit
tricky and a side-effect of the legacy UNIX security architecture.
It's not easy, and that's because it's just not easy. If you can't
follow Apple's detailed documentation and sample code, then I'm afraid
there's no magic bullet for you.
Thanks for the advice.
I know apple has been very helpful for providing a documentation and
that Cocoa is a fully documented framework.
I also realize that apple's documentation is more of the approach and
it is very helpful because it tells you not to memorized stuff but to
understand how it really works and then you can scan the API anytime.
Thanks.
