I've used Scripting Additions Ask Password OSAX 1.1 in OS 9
http://www.osaxen.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=osaxen&file=index&keywords
=ask+password
and systemOSAX1.0.8 in OS X (command askPassword) to accomplish what you ask
for
http://www.osaxen.com/system.html
Also, I believe if you leave off the keywords "as user name" and "with
password" in your script, the built-in login dialog box will prompt the user
for this (with password security) and you won't need to mess with additions.
