You won't if done within a certain amount of time (I can't remember
what the default is). Its like sudo: the first time it asks for the
password but subsequent sudo's don't if run within the timeout
interval.
BTW: there is an example tool at
http://developer.apple.com/samplecode/AuthSample/AuthSample.html
BTW^2: the tool once run while have its sticky bit set which will
prevent copying the application containing the tool. Actually the app
will copy but the tool won't.
