Cool, thanks!

Then I now have another question: Why not just run chmod on my utility when it's 'unlocked', and change the userID to 0. Then when it's locked, change it back to 501?

Or, is this exactly what AEWP() will do?

Thanks!

Cheers,

Joe Turner

Okay, so, it seems everyone was right :) I went to cocoabuilder to find some
of the responses to this, that I never got.

Anyways, it seems I can just call AEWP() once, and it should stay suid.

So, my last question to everyone is, how do I know if the tool is suid. I mean, I could implement some sort of lock-unlock thing, and then I would be
pretty sure, but is there anyway to know for sure?

And, is there a way to take SUID away from it? So, if I want to lock it, it
would work.

"man 2 stat" to check the bit, "man 2 chmod" to set it.
