+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> I don't understand it either, Doug. If he doesn't want to enter a password,

+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Personally, I think he's idiotic. Let just anybody do updates? Not me.
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Mageia, like Mandriva, sets the update password to the user password. One of
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> the first things I do is set it to the root password.

+</I>&gt;<i> FWIW, I think discussions should be kept polite and cordial, calling
+</I>&gt;<i> each other names isn't the right way to go.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Also reading misc's email, other, more popular/widely-used,
+</I>&gt;<i> applications do it that way, only ask for the password when actually
+</I>&gt;<i> downloading/installing the updates, not to just display the list of
+</I>&gt;<i> available updates. That's a valid enhancement request, IMHO.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>Apologies. I left out the word &quot;being&quot; in the first sentence of the last
+paragraph. I didn't mean to insult anybody.
+
+FWIW, I have been known to be idiotic from time to time, more often than
+I should be, and I appreciate it when somebody points it out - as you
+did *this* time.
