  I didn't notice any replies to your email so I'll take a crack at it.

  If software update does the update it should apply to all accounts. If the 
account has insufficient privileges to complete the update it should either 
fail and tell you or ask for the admin account to authenticate. While you may 
have multiple accounts, they share the same core applications and OS 
components. So an update to iTunes or a security patch to Safari will be 
noticed by all users.

    Hi folks, 

    As I think I mentioned before on here, I always use a limited account for 
my daily use on all my computers - wether it's Windows, Linux or Mac. So I was 
wondering. If I use the Admin account to run Software Update, will the updates 
be applied to the entire OS or only for that account? 

    Also, I have notieced that if I enter my Admin password whilse in my 
limited account, I can bypass it and do what I want. Is there a way to tell Mac 
OS X not to offer me this choice as in Linux please?

    Thank you

    Take care
