You can configure sudo to not require a password for certain commands run by certain users. Not sure how it works on the mac as there may be some kind of wrapper but I'm sure there would be a way to allow your user to not enter a password for loading xampp.... It's a mac. It's like *nix. It's tweakable ;) Col
