My problem continues to evolve.
After an analysis of the way my script should be used, I have concluded that a Standard user should run the script only if he can supply an ADMIN username and password.

(My script, called "Cloaking Device", makes disk partitions invisible, so I can show on the desktop only those disks I need to see. It also allows a user to make the user's Library folder visible.)

As far as I can determine, there simply does not exist a dialog that allows entry of username and password and returns its exists on the computer. I have looked for a shell command that does this, but no luck.

Does anyone know of such a shell command ?
