[comp.sys.mac.programmer] Gatekeeper and my cdev

resnick@cogsci.uiuc.edu (Pete Resnick) (12/17/90)

To Chris Johnson or anyone who has knowledge of Gatekeeper:

I am writing a INIT/DRVR/cdev in which I want to change the resource
ID numbers of the resources the driver owns. Unfortunately, Gatekeeper
feels that changing the resource ID numbers constitutes "suspicious"
activity and won't allow it. That's fine at INIT time, since I can
just allow Res/Self privs for the file in Gatekeeper (not too much
to ask of a program). Unfortunately, when I am a cdev, Gatekeeper wants
the program that the Control Panel is running under (either DA Handler
or an application under which the Control Panel is open) to have Res/
Other privs, which is unacceptable. Is there any way for me to make
myself Gatekeeper compatible? Or is the new version of Gatekeeper going
to change this? I am really kind of bummed at the moment. Any help
would be appreciated.

Thanks,
pr
