Is that expected, or something that could be improved ?
I don’t know — it used to work, and I do set a timeout for the right
to 900 seconds:
% security authorizationdb read com.macromates.textmate.openfile|pp
{ allow-root = :true;
authenticate-user = :true;
class = "user";
created = 424102476;
group = "admin";
modified = 424102476;
session-owner = :false;
shared = :false;
timeout = 900;
tries = 10000;
version = 0;
}
I’m a little busy today as I am leaving for a 2 week holiday tomorrow,
so not something I can play with, but given that you are writing
textmate-dev, perhaps you can tinker with this yourself.
For what it’s worth, calling ‘sudo mate /etc/hosts’ does cache the
authorization. Here ‘mate’ obtains the ‘system.privilege.admin’
right (because I was unable to create my own right and make it
obtainable as root w/o requiring additional admin password).
Other than the comment for ‘system.privilege.admin’ I see no
difference between them.
