Sorry everyone, I spoke too soon about the authentication bmessage being gone. After hitting Send I realized that for some reason I had to enter a login password when I started my Mac. Afterr a second restart, which successfully auto logged me in, the authentication message is back. Again, sincere apologies for the mistaken previous e-mail.
