Hi,
Your looking for authorization or authentication - BUT, you should
endeavour not to modify system files if there is another way to
achieve your goal.

Hi there,
I'm building an app similar to CandyBar which needs to modify
system files to customize the OSX user interface.
I'm using NSFileManager to do the modifications (as per this code):
NSFileManager * tFileManager = [[[NSFileManager alloc] init]
autorelease];
[tFileManager removeFileAtPath:tfilePath handler:self];
[tFileManager movePath:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@/
temp.aif", [bundleResource resourcePath]] toPath:tfilePath
handler:self];
when it attempts to remove the file, it throws a "Error Removing"
error, and obviously, doesn't remove the file...
I know, with the likes of candy bar, it asks for authentication to
make the changes before doing whatever it does, but I can't seem to
find any documentation on how to request for the user to login or
such...
Any ideas?
Cheers :D
