Disk Util File menu launches Admin-auth

I believe the problem is related to mounting a remote disk/directory and mdsstore hasn't finished listing all the files in its database. I can eject the volume at the remote location that initiated the connection, but on the computer that holds the accessed files... it cannot be ejected because "it is in use". All I can do is shutdown the host. BTW this happens even though a key exists in the keychain for that connection.

I understand there exists a command-line way to tell mdsstore what NOT to gather. I'll look into that next.

Not a command-line way but SystemPref's:Spotlight:Privacy . Sadly, one must connect the drive in order to add it to the list or drag-n-drop it to the list. I've yet to find a way to edit a file BEFORE a drive is connected.

Nevertheless, once added to the list and all clients disconnect from the drive, the server can eject the drive. So, one problem down, one to go.

I found this...

...and it works persistently with one caveat, when the remote drive is removed or disconnected, it is removed from the SystemPref's:Spotlight:Privacy list. However it will reappear when the remote drive is reconnected.

Thank you RodneyW wherever you are. :-)

Still buggered by DiskUtility:FileMenu Persistent Auth dialog boxes though.

There is no entry of any kind in SysPrefs:LoginItems. ref https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6858309
Specifically no "Boot Champ", nor what I suspect should be "Boot Camp" either... nothing.

Curiously, I can use the Keychain App, access any password key that requires Administrator pwd, enter it but not necessarily make any changes to the key, then reopen Disk Utility, hit the File menu and NO Auth Dialog!
But the effect is not persistent across reboots.

Seems to be a Keychain issue but I don't want to experiment. Any suggestions? Thanks.
