Mac gui root login

[codecaine]

Anybody know an api for MAC OS X to execute root login for a GUI Program?

The root account is disabled by default.

You could try changing the owner to root and applying setuid. It would have full access to the system and would be a hacker's dream come true.

What are you really trying to do that requires root access?

Full access to the system's files is easy to obtain with an administrator's account provided you know the trick for doing so (that's how I modified my version), but I'm hesitant to release the details on how to do it because I don't know your intentions. Sorry.

My intentions are if I have a program that need to modify or access a file that needs root ass my program can enable to have access to root. I don't want to have to have root from the start only when needed.
