Nope. I suggest filing an enhancement request against the

I surfed around the developer section but didn't find a place for
that. Did you you mean the bug report section? (Couldn't get in
there to have a closer look - for some reason my ADC login wasn't
accepted.)
Yes, file a bug report and mention that you need this new functionality.
Or, even better, is there a way to promote an NSTask to root
privileges?
Nope. If you want to do this you will need to make your
application setuid root, and then your users a) probably wouldn't
be able to easily install it or b) might consider your
application a security risk.
Well, yes, to avoid that was the reason I used the framework... :-)
Understood.
