You see that's why I install all my compiled software as a 
user to a custom directory, so that wouldn't work, and 
asking me for a password would definitely trigger a "what ?" 
reaction, so I'd definitely go for that, instead of 
giving access to any program/script/etc.. to just do a 
"pfexec" and do whatever it wants with my system.
