I've never unlocked that panel, and I've rebooted recently, and still didn't need authentication. Are you sure that's as right?

  The authentication for changing things via the System Preferences system is independent of sudo and "sticks" across reboots.

  Is your account an Administrator account? Normal users are just Standard accounts and not Administrators.
