I've tracked this issue down to the 2005-07 security update and the changes it brought to how bundles in /Library/InputManagers are loaded.
Apparently, users had some safari plugins installed that didn't pass InputManager's validation. So, is there some way to prevent your program from loading those bundles?

Hi all,

I'm working on an app that at one point launches another app with root privileges.
On some 10.3.9 systems, that second app crashes with the following log:

Searching the archives of this list as well as the web, I was unable to find a reason for this to happen.

This app is launched using AuthorizationCreate and AuthorizationExecuteWithPrivileges:

AuthorizationCreate(NULL, kAuthorizationEmptyEnvironment, kAuthorizationFlagDefaults, &auth);
AuthorizationExecuteWithPrivileges(auth, kLaunchedAppPath, kAuthorizationFlagDefaults, NULL, NULL);



Did anyone experience this problem before? What might I be doing wrong?


Thanks a bunch
