Is the only way to allow a user to write to a protected location use
the AuthorizationExecuteWithPrivileges function?
If so, is there a way to tell when the application has quit, and get
the exit code?
If not, how would I go about getting sufficient privileges to write
to protected locations?
Does using a setuid tool mess up the ability for a user to delete an
application, assuming the setuid tool is imbedded in an
application's bundle?
Thanks for any help!
See Nick's response... it was helpful.
However -- I have a question:
What are you trying to do and what do you hope to gain by protecting
the data in this fashion?
Specifically, going down this path means that any non-admin user will
not be able to use whatever functionality in your application requires
authorization.... is that intended?
