I'm trying to run `/usr/libexec/locate.updatedb` from my cocoa app which
needs to be run as root for it to be useful. I know its possible to
throw up a dialog saying "whats your password, you need root access",
and then run as a process owned by root. Anyone have any insight on how
to do that? :-) I'm pretty confident that I've seen it done before, I
just cant find the example.
Thanks in advance,
Mike Margolis
