launching tasks as root

  • Subject: launching tasks as root
  • From: Charles Srstka <email@hidden>
  • Date: Wed, 25 Sep 2002 15:54:32 -0500
When I launch a task with AuthorizationExecuteWithPrivileges(), the actual UID of that task is the same as the currently logged-in user, but the effective UID is root. Unfortunately, the vsdbutil tool requires the actual UID be root. Is there any way I can launch a task with an actual UID of root without resorting to using sudo?

Thanks,
Charles
