Hi Jens, I understand what you mean, but are you saying that I should not use any Foundation library functions when running as root user? There are sometimes needs to have super user permission, how do we address that? I mean, lets say we need to add a rule in fw (ipfw) which requires to be root user right?

This isn't directly related to your question, but you almost certainly shouldn't be running your code as root. That's a bad security practice - it means that security problems in your code might be exploitable to take control of the entire OS. If your code shouldn't run as any specific user account, the usual approach is to create a special account for it. -Jens _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
