Hi,
As a followup to the message I posted below. I was noticing that Other
Apple SystemPreferences whenever they are going to write the file to a
root owned file, a helper app writeconfig is launched from the Private
Admin.Framework, is there any way I can get at this framework and know
how to use writeconfig to write the file for me???
And also is there a way that I can class dump Admin.Framework(the
private framework), to see what I can call in there????

Hi,
I was wondering if anybody has an example I could download or could
help me with this question.
I want to implement something similar to Apple's SystemPreferences,
where it has that lock that you can authenticate as an admin so that
you can change some of the root owned files found in
/Library/Preferences/...... . For example
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist behaves
like this, and the SystemPreference that changes this file is the
Network one.
So I want to perform similar actions, I have a root owned file stored
in a similar location and need that file to be modified by my system
preference, but they are run as the current user, so that is why I am
sure they have that Authorization/Authentication in the
Security.Framework, I have been reading up on it, but have found no
examples or help regarding being able to use Cocoa/Objective-C NSArray
writeToFile, or whatever those functions are. I have successfully
gotten that Authentication window to popup and return with the
AuthRef, but my code still can't do those writing to files , to the
root files.
Any help,
Thanks,
Matt
