, which ships without sudo built in. Maybe these distros that ship
with sudo are preconfigured to allow any user to sudo with their own login
password? In which case they can do sudo su -? I don't much like that idea
either, that cannot be surely?

Peter,
That is a good suggestion if the application was not meant for mass
deployment. Otherwise each machine's sudoers file would have to be
edited accordingly, which would be a bummer for users that do not know
how to do so. And that is likely the majority of Mac users. I would

Don't think expect is the right way to do this - best would be to use an ssh

terminal commands as the superuser on a Mac. An Ubuntu terminal will accept the
superuser password using a pipe, such as "pass | sudo -S command", but Mac's
terminal will not accept the password on the same li
