I'm trying to figure out how to use this. Mostly I need to run
existing tools such as hdiutil to make disk images in the root folder
so they are not deleted.
I've tried following apple's sample code but I get lost when they
start defining their own commands/priviledges. Since I'm using an
existing tool, I might think there are privilidges defined for those
tools, but if there are, I don't know where apple keeps them.
What I would like to do is create the image in the root folder and
then mount it (from an admin account).
I have tried just using their code that just gives you the blanket
authorization for the 5 minute time-out (I know, that's bad!) but
only parts of the command will work.
For example, doing that, I came up with creating the image in the
local directory, and using mv to move it to the root folder (hdiutil
would not allow me to create it in the root folder).
After moving it, I try to mount it, but hdiutil gives me permission
denied errors.
I know it's my lack of understanding - can someone enlighted me?
Thanks in advance.
