[slightly OT] using sudo -S via shell

[Ton Kuypers]

Couldn't get it to work, but found a much better solution on "http:// 
developer.apple.com/technotes/tn2002/tn2065.html"

Now I just create an AppleScript and run it, works like a charm :-)

And with a little extra added to the functionality as a bonus:
"Note: Using sudo(8) with with administrator privileges is generally  
unnecessary and creates security holes; simply remove the "sudo"."

Thanks everybody for your help.
