Also a question: does anyone know of a Cocoa/obj-C wrapper around
auth-framework? It might be a useful sort of project/tool ;-)

I don't know what is meant by "auth-framework", but...

Apple provides an Objective-C interface. It lacks an
AuthorizationExecuteWithPrivileges() method, but I think that Apple omitted
that deliberately.

Yes, I believe the idea is that you need to make a tool as in BetterAuthorizationSample to do that. I did make what I consider to be a "more Cocoa" version of the demo in BetterAuthorizationSample last month. The project includes a Cocoa framework which you can use in your app to access your tool, which is I believe about as close as you can come to having a "Cocoa/obj-C wrapper".

No known bugs. Needs more testing, but since I guess nothing is never done, what the hell, here you go...

Note: The HeaderDoc documentation in there covers only the framework.
