NSTask and authentication...I have to clarify my original question

In looking to wrap a Unix executable with Xcode, I am moving towards an NSTask path.

The issue I have is the executable needs to have root privileges to perform.

The recommendations received suggest using Authentication Services. From what I have deduced, I will need to have an authentication step when the application is launched. Is that right?

Is there a way that authentication at launch can be avoided e.g. authentication at install gives the application permission thereafter????
