One way would be to edit /etc/pam.d/pup and change it to something like:

#%PAM-1.0
auth            include         config-util
auth            sufficient      pam_console.so
account         include         config-util
session         include         config-util

I have not tested it, but it should let the "console owner" run pup 
without a password. If it does not work, you can try exchanging the 
two auth statements, but this is more of a security risk. (It 
probably does not matter for a home system.)
