If you read the bug report, he wasn't complaining about the requirement for root to update, only that it did not ask for it and simply tries to update and crashes.
Don't need to read it, as I am the one who wrote the bug report. But I will reread it, as my technical writing leaves a lot to be desired. (Hey, I know what I mean, everyone else should read my mind! lol) This is the part of the bug report I am referring to: Would you please add a feature that asks for the "root" password before trying to upgrade? And, not attempt to upgrade, unless the user is actually "root" or has been elevated to root. I later remarked that I like the way Mac OS prompts. And I later added that /usr/bin/system-config-network prompts you for your root password, maybe see how they did it Please everyone vote for this bug! -T
