It is interesting that my other workstation works differently. That

require root permissions.
Any ideas how to get apps to require the root password instead of my
user password?
You probably didn't set up that user with yourself in the "wheel" group,
which sets up the user for use with sudo, in a simple manner. In
windows-parlance, an admin user.

All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying
to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.
George Orwell's '1984' was supposed to be a warning against tyranny, not
a set of instructions for supposedly democratic governments.
