I am in a admin account when testing the issue. Ive created a User Interface to add a print queue using lpadmin. In my User Interface, i set my authorization not as admin. before my lpa dmin was called, an authentication dialog asking for user name and password appears which is expected since i set my authorization to 0. When i click "Cancel" in the authentication dialog, i raised my NSBeginCriticalAlertSheet stating "queue not added". When clicking "OK" button from my NSBeginCriticalAlertSheet, my application quits.
here is the crash log: Exception: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (0x0001) Codes: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS (0x0001) at 0x00633000 Thread 0 Crashed: 0 com.apple.Foundation 0x92bdfdc0 _NSAddExceptionHandlerForLock + 332 1 com.apple.AppKit 0x937caec4 -[NSViewHierarchyLock lockForReadingWithExceptionHandler:] + 368 2 com.apple.AppKit 0x937d02a0 -[NSView displayIfNeeded] + 80 3 com.apple.AppKit 0x93856f34 -[NSControl mouseDown:] + 184 4 com.apple.AppKit 0x937f8890 -[NSWindow sendEvent:] + 4616 5 com.apple.AppKit 0x937a18d4 -[NSApplication sendEvent:] + 4172 6 com.apple.AppKit 0x93798d10 -[NSApplication run] + 508 7 com.apple.AppKit 0x9388987c NSApplicationMain + 452 here are my snippet codes: -(BOOL) createQueue : (AuthorizationRef) authRef { //launch authentication dialog. } - (void)errorSheet:(NSNotification*)aNotification { //raise error dialog NSBeginCriticalAlertSheet(@"failed", button1, button2, button3, nil,self,nil, @selector (sheetDidEnd:returnCode:contextInfo:),nil,@"queue not added"); } -(void)sheetDidEnd:(NSWindow *)sheet returnCode:(int)returnCode contextInfo:(void *)contextInfo { //recover error from errorSheet [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] postNotification:[NSNotification notificationWithName:@"recoverfromfail" object:nil userInfo: [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:[NSNumber numberWithBool:(returnCode==NSAlertDefaultReturn)?YES:NO],@"recover",nil]]]; } + (BOOL)runAsAdmin { AuthorizationRights rightSet = { 0, &right };/*----------------------------------- intentionally set to 0 so that i will prompt an authenticaion dialog---------------------------------------*/ } Static AuthorizationRef authRef = NULL; +(AuthorizationRef)authRef { return authRef; } __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
