Howdy,

An ``authenticating editor'' is one which allows you (after giving your admin password) to edit and save files owned by root (e.g., updmaps.cfg). Because all applications sold via the App Store must be sandboxed (i.e., they essentially have very little access to low level processes) they aren't able to allow authentication.

But I wonder of BareBones has something on their site that can help there. Not sure about that.

Good Luck,
