Is there a way that authentication at launch can be avoided e.g.
authentication at install gives the application permission
thereafter????
Of course there is -- the setuid bit (see general unix access
privileges for details).
That said, it is a generally **very dangerous** thing unless used
**with extreme care**; you should refrain from using setuids far as
possible (best not to use them at all). The explicit authentification
though the Auth Services is **ways** better and more secure.
