We want to execute our updates in the background, but they require authentication. I've tried creating a script with setuid set, but the installer still complains that it needs to be authenticated. I then wrote a tiny C program that execs my script, and prints the effective user ID, but it still complains. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
