I am trying to wrap a Unix exectuable using NSTask. The executable requires root permission and I have failed to get it to work to date. Is NSTask limited to run commands that do not require root permissions and if so is there an authentication work around to overcome this?

Yes and yes. Try searching around for Authorization Services.
