hello,

what i need for my project is a simple authorization from time to time if for 
example a file is being moved and i don't have access.  i'm just starting to 
learn about authorization services and maybe this is what i need to do although 
it looks a bit complex for my needs.  what i have found in the archives and 
what actually works for me is using NSApplescript with a shell script and 
administrator privileges flag and it prompts for a password when needed.  the 
only issue is it doesn't remember the time stamp and will ask for a password 
multiple times within 5 minutes.  if only i can control that time stamp or if i 
can use NSTask it could work too, but i'm not sure there's a way to get the 
typical authentication window by using NSTask.  i definitely don't need to do 
something like run my project as root or anything like that.  hope this makes 
sense and any pointers are much appreciated.  thank you for your time,

rick
