My PubSubAgent mystery - laarree - 12-17-2008

When I boot up my Mac Pro at home and the Mac auto-logs into my
primary account, I get a message that a process named PubSubAgent
wants access to my Keychain. This has been happening for a while,
thru the various Leopard updates, including last night's 10.5.6 update.

Googling & searching Apple's discussions has informed me that
PubSubAgent has something to do with RSS feeds, other people
have PubSubAgent crashes (I've not seen one), and a suggestion
to choose "always allow" to dismiss this stray dialog box forever.
I don't subscribe to any RSS feeds, and the dialog box requesting
Keychain access does not have an "always allow" option. I've
looked in the Keychain utility for PubSubAgent, trashed a
com.apple.pubsubagent.plist file, but have so far failed to squash
this minor hidden-unix-layer-of-Mac_OS-X eruption.

Any solutions????
