Hi Lance,

Ah, I think that will work! I couldn't find it anywhere in the docs. Sorry for the fuss. I'll inject the suggestion into the dev cycles and see what happens!

Yes, but don't forget that you still need to get the files to be owned by root (which either means writing a helper tool or fixing it in the Installler) and you're limited to 10.6.

In my opinion, you're better off writing a helper tool that loads your Kext. Depending on what your Kext does, you might want to ask for authorisation anyway. That's what we're doing for our Kext but we already had privileged helper tools so it wasn't a big deal for us.

For instructions on writing helper tools, search for BetterAuthorizationSample.

Kind regards,

Chris
