Okay, just to make sure I've gotten this straight:

1. You can no longer su to another user and use open to launch an application as another user
2. The security framework is fun

I believe number 2 is false, but I needed a list


So, can I still launch an application as root if I use the Security Framework and Launch Services? I believe Pseudo still works, but I don't want to prompt for a password. I need to be able to compile a C program that launches another application as a user such that the user name and password are hard coded, so no prompt. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks,
Matt

Moving all the heavy duty stuff to a Foundation Tool did the trick.
