More on /etc/authorization?
Authored by: klktrk on Mar 26, '04 02:45:32PM

This is really interesting, and I was totally unaware of the /etc/authorization file. Looking at the file, it's in a .plist format, though it doesn't have the extension.

Does anyone have a good resource, faq, or tutorial on how to configure this file?

I don't know if I would call it a good resource, but you can find out more information at:

http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Security/Conceptual/authorization_concepts/index.html

It is more of a programmer's resource for adding support to your application (for example we used it in Interarchy to allow administrators to limit access to the network traffic watching facility), but I haven't seen much else around, so perhaps this is as good as it get.
