Hi everyone.
This posting is to help those of you out there using a tool to configure
your internet settings. The last thing you want is to have to display
that ugly Authorization Dialog that says "authorization trampoline" in
it and has a generic document icon.
If I remember correctly, I couple of weeks ago there was a discussion
about some application that changes the internet settings but never asks
for an admin password so they can self-repair their tool. Well, this is
probably what they did:
First, write your code with the self repair parts in there. Compile.
Run it, authorize it, quit.
If you build a package using package maker to install it, and select the
option "Needs Authorization", when your software is installed it will
preserve the file ownerships ( meaning your tool will get installed
already owned as root ).
Hope this helps some of you,
-Morgan
