I've had trouble with this too, even though my /etc/authorization has *my* strings in it. (I just checked again). I gave up and moved it to my "fix someday" list. Haven't checked in Snow Leopard yet. Here's my story:

I found the following bug: In my Snow Leopard created project the prompt specified in /etc/authorization by BAS ("BetterAuthorizationSample") is going under the key "English", but if I change it to "en" it works fine.


That is, the following, which is put into /etc/authorization by the BAS code, does *not* work (note, I've modified the spacing for readability):

<key>com.netsq.ACManager.ReadAuditConfig</key>
<dict>
<key>default-prompt</key>
<dict>
<key></key>
<string>ReadAuditConfigPrompt</string>
<key>English</key>
<string>Reading the system's audit_config file requires an administrator password.</string>
</dict>
<key>rule</key>
<string>default</string>
</dict>



Whereas the following, in which I just changed "English" to "en" by hand, *did* work:


<key>com.netsq.ACManager.ReadAuditConfig</key>
<dict>
<key>default-prompt</key>
<dict>
<key></key>
<string>ReadAuditConfigPrompt</string>
<key>en</key>
<string>Reading the system's audit_config file requires an administrator password.</string>
</dict>
<key>rule</key>
<string>default</string>
</dict>



Of course, I can't expect my users to go into /etc/authorization to change the entry themselves, and I'm not going to much around with it from my code, so I guess I'll wait for Apple to fix this. I'm not even sure which code is to blame (the BAS code or the Authorization code).
