PubSubAgent

[Neil Laubenthal]

Since upgrading to Leopard; I get plagued by an authentication dialog  
every 20 minutes or so for this to access my keychain. Googling has  
shown that it's related to RSS feeds . . .which I don't use anyway;  
and the particular dialog doesn't have the "allows allow this access"  
or whatever it actually says checkbox.

Any ideas how to get rid of this? My normal use account does not have  
admin rights . . . if that makes any difference to either the problem  
or the solution.

Stuff I've already tried:

1. Set Mail to be the default RSS reader and set update frequency and  
remove articles to manual. Verified that (by adding an RSS feed and  
then removing it) that I have no feeds subscribed to.

2. Set Safari (which isn't my default browser anyway, Firefox is) to  
have RSS support disabled.

3. Repaired the login keychain . . . which doesn't have anything in it  
about PubSubAgent anyway. There was some sort of "access attribute  
error which I repaired with Keychain First Aid.

4. Repaired permissions . . . even though I am almost positive that  
this was a waste of effort. No errors found other than one on the  
ARDAgent . . .which doesn't have anything to do with RSS obviously.

I'm stumped . . . if I'm not subscribed to any feeds then it shouldn't  
be asking me anyway I wouldn't think.

Any ideas how to either make it stop asking or else remember that I  
gave it permission already?
