I have this code:

AuthorizationRef        auth;
OSStatus aa = AuthorizationCreate( NULL, kAuthorizationEmptyEnvironment, 
kAuthorizationFlagDefaults, &auth);

const char *pathToTool = [ theHelperPath fileSystemRepresentation ];
const char *const arguments[] = { "--self-repair", NULL };
FILE *communicationsPipe;
aa = AuthorizationExecuteWithPrivileges (       auth, 
                                                                                
        pathToTool, 
                                                                                
        kAuthorizationFlagDefaults, 
                                                                                
        (char * const *)arguments, 
                                                                                
        &communicationsPipe
                                                                                
);

int fileDescriptor = fileno( communicationsPipe );
NSFileHandle *readHandel = [ [ NSFileHandle alloc ] initWithFileDescriptor: 
fileDescriptor ];

... some reading from readHandel

int yy = fclose( communicationsPipe );

works fine, but Xcode is telling me that AuthorizationExecuteWithPrivileges is 
deprecated since 10.7.

I asked Xcode about this (expecting something like: "use this instead") but got 
no answer.

So what to do?
My HelperTool needs to run as root. How is this to be done?
