Thanks, Shane. Actually quite a bit more, too. For some reason "Find" wasn't
working in the Xcode release notes when I tried before.
New Features
"The do shell script command now displays the Mac OS X authentication dialog
in order to obtain administrator privileges. [3004723]
The do shell script command now has a user name parameter that specifies an
administrator account. This parameter can be used along with the password
parameter and the administrator privileges parameter in order to execute
commands as an administrator without displaying an authentication dialog.
[3004723]"
Bug Fixes
"The do shell script command now works correctly with multiple commands when
the administrator privileges parameter is specified. [3466509]
When the administrator privileges parameter is specified to the do shell
script command, the 5 minute authentication timestamp now applies only to
the current script. [3004723]
The do shell script command now returns the correct error code (-128) if the
user cancels the authentication dialog. [3446874]"
"Special Notes"
"Do not use sudo(8) with the administrator privileges parameter of the do
shell script command. Due to a bug, if sudo thinks it needs a password, it
will prompt for it on a non-existent terminal and wait forever for a
response, causing the script to hang. This may break existing scripts.
The do shell script command now runs the shell script as seteuid-root, not
actually root. This creates certain differences; for instance, perl will
refuse to accept -e options when seteuid-root.
The error codes returned by the do shell script command have changed."
