LaunchAsRoot is an app's passport to running as superuser, i.e. with
root privileges. It runs as an application and service for launching
applications as root user. To use, drag the application (or a
document) you wish to launch as root on top of the LaunchAsRoot
application icon in the Finder. Alternatively, Control-click on the
application (or a document) in the Finder and select "Launch As Root"
from the Services contextual submenu. Either way, you will be
presented with an authentication dialog. Enter the name and password
of an administrator to allow the application to be launched by
LaunchAsRoot. LaunchAsRoot quits after launching the application.
