I must be missing something
Authored by: lincd0 on Mar 03, '09 02:40:41PM

I run as a non-admin user too, but when I open the Software Update preference pane in Leopard, I see a "Check Now" button, which works, and a "Check for Updates" checkbox with a pulldown menu for Daily, Weekly, or Monthly, which also works. I don't have to enter an admin password to use these features. I'd have to enter one to actually install the updates, but not to be notified of them.

The checkboxes exist, but notifications are not given unless you have an administrator account logged in, at least in my experience. I gave up running as a non-admin partially for this reason.

I have an admin account and a work account, both of which are always logged in with fast user switching enabled. The notifications work for me.
