Hi All,
I need to access some files in the Applications folder and in order to
do so I did the following:
1. I've created a tool that copies the files into the Applications
folder (using NSFileManager)
2. I'm invoking the tool using AuthorizationExecuteWithPrivileges()
3. In the tool I'm calling setuid(geteuid()) at the begining
4. The tool does not have its setuid bit set
This setup seems to work fine without doing anything regarding the
setuid bit yet the (very unclear and confusing) documentation seems to
refer to AuthorizationExecuteWithPrivileges as something you use to
run a setuid tool.
Should I set the setuid bit? Why?
TIA
