I'm using XCode 3.2.6. However, it has not triggered the need for atos from any of the stuff I've been working on (mostly iOS related). I'm normally logged into a user account without Admin privileges. > You indicate that you don't use encryption.

I should've been more explicit in my email. I do use GPGMail and GPG2 from gpgtools for signing my emails in Mail.app. However, I don't (normally) use encryption. > > If you have *not* installed gpg or gpg2 *nor* GPGMail, maybe this atos > tool is prompting you to do something which I cannot define, but that > might be related to the fact that your Mail has received an encrypted > message, that it does not know how to process. > > If you have installed gpg or gpg2, and GPGMail, then this is a very > interesting occurrence, for which I have not an inkling of explanation. > > Have you tried to query the Developer's forum? No, it has only been triggered so far by encrypted posts sent to the recent gpgtools-user digest(s). Before the system prompts me to enter my Admin credentials, the GPG Verification banner shows that encrypted email was present (without decrypting or verifying it). After I enter my Admin credentials, the GPG Verification banner will update to indicate that decryption was successful (or words to that effect). > > Best regards, > Charly > > T.C. ---- Wan Tat Chee (Senior Lecturer) School of Computer Sciences, Universiti Sains Malaysia, 11800 USM, Penang, Malaysia.
