Not sure which list this really belongs on, however what im trying to do is detect if a system has Secure Virtual Ram enabled as it causes some problems with parts of my program and i want to disable them.

So any ideas on how to detect if the user has enable the secure virtual memory option in the security pref pane

PS. I assume its stored in a plist somewhere...

A plist setting may exist. You're best bet is to (in Terminal), do a 'defaults read' to dump out all settings (pipe to a file). Then, switch the setting and compare the resultant file.


But that key, if it even exists, may not be public. Thus, your program risks breakage in the future.

An alternative approach is for you to just have your own setting of whether or not SVR is enabled. Users would just have to sync that up with reality.

Feel free to also file an enhancement request to either add an API or make that setting's key public.
