Mmmh, ok. And what measure have you chosen against a program to just
remove LittleSnitch from the startup list - this can be done by a normal
user for his/her account without admin rights, and unnoticed. Next time
that account logs in, the same program may easily check whether
LittleSnitch is still on the startup list or not and in the latter case
execute whatever it has been programmed for.
Granted: LittleSnitch could only be restarted with admin rights (and
thus added to the startup list for normal users) but I would expect that
the majority of people do not regularily check the startup list... it
may even go unnoticed if a fair number of startup items is used, or
simply being overlooked.
Just a thought...
Joachim
