Odd "Airport" Keychain Request (Anyone else ever seen this?)

The other day I went to my parents' house to set up a Wi-Fi network for them. I dug out an old Airport base station, plugged in their DSL modem, plugged in the Airport Base Station, and then fired it all up. When I woke up my computer, it immediately detected my old base station, and then the window in the picture below popped up about five times. Each time I selected "Don't Change".
At any rate, it looks suspicious. I have never seen this before in about 2.5 years of using an Airport Base Station, and am wondering what might potentially be the deal with this. I am a little concerned because the application referenced as "airport" is not capitalized, which seems a little funny (I imagine Apple would have written it correctly). Also, I have installed some shareware/freeware apps on my computer over the past few months, and am running an admin account (I know...stupid...too late...learning the hard way).
Anyone else ever see this on their computer and/or could someone explain?
Thanks in advance.

I suppose it's not capitalized because it's a command-line tool, not a full-fledged app. I've got the same program on my system.

Yeah I've seen that too, and I was also suspicious at first. But I just allowed it and everything's been fine.

I see it on a dual USB iBook every time the system - 10.3 - is updated (including some security updates).
The pain in the keesteroid part is that for reasons unknown it won't ask for permission, and connecting to the network won't happen without it. Even with "new" settings. A couple of restarts usually wakes it up, though.

While it may be "normal" it isn't usual - did you folks exhibiting this do a straight upgrade from an older OS version to 10.4 by any chance? I'd like to try and find out why this happens and my first suspicion is that this is cruft left over from prior versions of the OS causing a conflict.
In my archive and install update, the first path listed in that screenshot is through a "Resources" alias - is that the case for those of you having the problem?

JKT, I'm running 10.3.9, if that gives any insight. I did a clean install about 6 months ago from my 10.3 disk, then installed the upgrade to go straight to 10.3.9.

Well, that blows that theory out of the water - perhaps it is a 10.3.x issue then instead?
