Indeed. I prefer the OSX way which asks for a user _and_ a password. This fits my use case which has my daughter using the Mac to surf the web. If she stumbles upon a blocked site she can click a link to allow it, come and get me and I'll type in my name and password to unlock that site. > - Admin User has already approved software source and accepted it as a > trusted source when they add the repo sources to the list. > > Why this extra step for a simple update process? > There could be a significant time delta between adding software sources and updating the machine. If I was called away from my machine and update manager popped up, I'd rather my 3 year old Son didn't stab the install button and add the updates. I want some kind of security confirmation.
