Hey Motti,
Could you maybe have a Cocoa app in your pref pane bundle that could talk to the privileged daemon? You would launch it from the pref pane, it would bless the tool on your behalf and you would communicate between the privileged app and the pref pane via the helper app?
That’s definitely not ideal but it sounds like it could solve your problem?
Thanks,
Damien
