update without a password

[David Meireles]

Well, if it's computer you support, not a computer of yours, you can via 
ssh do the updates for yourself without the user even notice that... Or, 
you can follow my suggestion, but something like once in one or two 
months, do the updates yourself to see if something is pending for user 
interaction.
