[Macpartners] Leopard 10.5.1 and PubSubAgent

[Deb Bowser]

Hi Felix:

This behavior will be seen if you are syncing Bookmarks using .Mac.   
You will see an alert stating that the PubSub Agent needs access to  
your Keychain. This alert is expected. It is safe to click "Always  
Allow" for the PubSub Agent.

The PubSub agent syncs the RSS read/unread status of bookmarked RSS  
feeds between computers using Mac OS X 10.5 that are syncing bookmarks  
via .Mac Sync.

If this is not the case, please let me know.
