Note that you should never run a GUI application with elevated
provilege, particulary an application that uses AppKit, this is EVIL.
See man authopen(1). This is built-in an helper tool design to read
and write file using auth services. It handle all the authorization
part for you.
And before using ExecuteWithPrivileges, you must read this:

You can't really upgrade an already running process's privilege
level. What I'd suggest is make a small launcher program that the
user opens. This would ask for the admin password and then launch
your main application using AuthorizationExecuteWithPrivileges and
friends.

Hi,
I wish to access disk sectors using open() and pread(). but it
fails for the system disk.
So how can I get the user to type in admin passwd and then run my
app in privileged mode.
Please point me to any sample code etc.
I tried ""BetterAuthorizationSample" code from apple, but using it
to access disk sectors is 10 times slower then open() and pread(),
cause it installs a helper tool in the system and to get sectors
from it is slow.
