Thanks for all the replies. I am inclined to agree - the last thing I want is to build something that looks like a Windows application! And I get the issue of not bugging the user with a tedious setup process. The idea of having preset values that the user can change if he wants to is the way to go, I'm sure.
OK, perhaps I need to rethink how this works. Given that the underlying purpose is to authenticate the user to allow access to an encrypted database, would it make more sense for me to use the user's Mac OS X account credentials? Is there a way (I hesitate to use the phrase "best practice" again) for my program to authenticate the user that way?
