Hey everyone
Over the last couple days, I've been getting an allow/deny modal view popup from PubSubAgent, asking to use my credentials for an RSS feed(this started happening the day I played around with Times, so it's probably the cause). I hit always allow, but it keeps popping up every few minutes. Tried rebooting and the like, but it keeps happening. Any ideas?

Solution for a Nagging PubSubAgent - No, sorry, posted too soon

I had this problem for about 6 months - I had to change to manual syncing so that I only had to "allow" access 2-3 times per sync, rather than every half-hour. "Always Allow" just didn't seem to work. Very strange.

Then I found a solution on some Unix-Mac-Hackerish site. It seems that the problem is a subtly corrupt keychain. Go to Username->Library->Keychains and open the keychain with its default app. Now on the "Keychain Access" pull-down menu choose "Keychain First Aid", and run "Repair" twice. Some say you need to do it twice - I just trusted them. Now I am cured. Hope that this can help other poor souls.

Correction - seemed to work at first, but still getting nagged.
