Mac OS X: Software installations require administrator password

Installing software in Mac OS X requires an administrator account name and password. When installing software that uses the Installer included with Mac OS X, Installer displays a dialog with an authorization message (even if you're the only person using the computer): "You need an Administrator password to install the software. Click the lock to make changes."

NAME
Sys::Filesystem::Darwin - Return Darwin (Mac OS X) filesystem information to Sys::Filesystem SYNOPSIS
See Sys::Filesystem. DESCRIPTION
The filesystem information is taken from diskutil, the system utility supplied on Mac OS X. INHERITANCE
Sys::Filesystem::Darwin ISA Sys::Filesystem::Unix ISA UNIVERSAL METHODS
version () Return the version of the (sub)module. ATTRIBUTES
The following is a list of filesystem properties which may be queried as methods through the parent Sys::Filesystem object. The property 'label' is also set, but cannot be queried by Sys::Filesystem yet. mount_point The mount point (usually either '/' or '/Volumes/...'). device The mounted device format Describes the type of the filesystem. So far I encountered the following types: hfs The standard Mac OS X HFS(+) filesystem. Disk images (.dmg) and Mac Software DVDs normally also use the HFS(+) format. msdos DOS image files (e.g. floppy disk images) cd9660 CD-ROM image files or real CD-ROMs cddafs Audio CDs udf UDF filesystem (e.g. DVDs) (empty) For mounted FTP servers, disktool returns an empty filesystem type (ie, ''). BUGS
Doesn't take /etc/fstab or /etc/xtab into account right now, since they are normally not used. Contact the author if you need this. SEE ALSO
