Actually, I think the all-or-nothing part of Apple's authentication

I'd much rather have an Apple supplied API that uses an Apple tool
as well
as authentication services to copy the files, so Auth-Services can
tell me
what is being copied/moved/whatever to and from where... Apple's
Installer
could be the first app to use this.
Of course, there's still no way for the end-user to know if the
dialog is
the real Authentication-Services dialog or just a tool by third-
party to
capture the user's password.
I'm with you entirely (see also http://www.cocoabuilder.com/archive/

Unfortunately nobody seems to want to talk about this. Hopefully
somebody at Apple will wake up before their operating system is
successful enough to be a *real* target for trojan attacks.
Best wishes,
Hamish
