Not entirely. For example, I can drag-install an application into /
Applications without authenticating.

I'm thinking not, and it probably shouldn't. From what I can tell,
this is semantically equivalent to calling sudo in a shell (and may
well be what it does inside for real, but I don't know all the ins and
outs). An "admin user" is effectively a user in the sudoers file or
equivalent to one, but you still need to authenticate yourself before
doing something sudo-ey.

I just realized, it seems Leopard offers *only* Admin authentication.
However, I am always prompted, even though I am already an admin
user. Is
there a way to reduce the need to be prompted?

Looking at this document:
http://developer.apple.com/tools/installerpolicy.html
I see that what we would like to have used to be available. That
is, if the
user is already an admin, we don't want them to have to
authenticate. Is
this no longer available, why?
And why is this doc so out of date?
TIA,
Rick
