AFAIK all AuthorizationExecuteWithPrivileges does is run a specified
process as root. It sounds like you want to run a process normally (ie:
either as the logged in user, or as the file owner if the setuid bit is
on).
So why couldn't you just use fork/exec? IMHO an
AuthorizationExecuteWithoutPrivileges API would be a tad redundant, as
you shouldn't need to use Authorization Services to run a process
without any privileges. :-)
