Hi, I'm working on a networking related app, that at time requires
elevated
privileges to perform certain functions. I would like to prompt for
the
super user password, and then authenticate and perform my function,
much
like the SuSE setup tool Yast does, or when you are prompted for an
administrator password when installing software on a Mac.
I’m not aware of the techniques used to elevate an apps privileges,
so far
I’m looking at Linux “capabilities” and libcap, but I’m not sure if
I’m on
the right track, and if it would be portable to say BSD.
Many thanks
Cheers.
