Thanks, Bernhard, for your response. Sorry for taking some time to respond.

Well, I do the zypper-dance every morning without missing a beat and 
while I do have the above rpm installed it was installed on 29 November; 
but the authorisation nonsense is still coming up.

The output from the grep command you mentioned above is:

linux-xxxx:~ # grep PERMISSION_SECURITY /etc/sysconfig/security
# PERMISSION_SECURITY. If PERMISSION_SECURITY contains 'secure' or
PERMISSION_SECURITY="easy local"

Is this what was to be expected?
