You should probably look at using the Authorization API in the Security framework instead. See stepwise.com for a thorough investigation of said API and it's usage in a Cocoa application. I believe the article is in the (surprise) articles section.

I'm running a command using NSTask with sudo.

sudo asks for the users password before it runs. Is there anyway of getting the users password without having to ask the user to enter it? Once you get the password, is there an easy way to verify that it is correct?
