Now can anyone tell me to have this set at login? Which file should
it be written to?

well, probably the safest way would be to create a generic key in your
keychain with your admin password in it, then use keychain scripting to pull
that password out and make it part of a 'do shell script' command. This way,
you aren't embedding passwords in scripts.

But no password would be required in a boot script. It's only when I change it during a session that I need to be superuser.
