Hi,
I have a SystemPreferences Plugin that I want to read from a root owned
file that any user has read priviliges. And after they have made
changes I want it to authenticate and have them enter a admin password
so that the file can be written back out to.
I am sure this is possible, but just to make sure is it?
And I am not familiar with Authenticating to be able to do this, any
examples or pointers on how to do this?
The file is actually a sqlite DB file that will be owned by root that
be daemon creates, but my SystemPreferences Pane plugin needs access to
change some stuff in it.
Matt
