I don't understand this story. AFAICR, any software package I've installed using OS X's Installer.app has required me to authenticate with an adminstrator pasword even when I am logged into an adminstrator account.

Has this changed under OS X 10.6, or have I somehow enabled a higher level of security at some past juncture...or am I just plain misremembering?
