Brent,
Apple's BetterAuthorizationSample uses /Library/
PrivilegedHelperTools/, and that location seems to have become a de
facto standard.
<http://developer.apple.com/samplecode/BetterAuthorizationSample/>
Caveats:
- ensure any installers keep the correct permissions and ownership
on that folder;
- ensure your tool is uniquely named, probably using reverse DNS
notation (e.g., com.mycompany.foobard).
(There are probably more.)
