No. kwallet can be ptraced, this allows a hostile program to get access to all it's data with ease. Of course in OS/X I expect that you could fool the password manager somehow to get access. But at least they stop ptrace. Also kwallet seems to have no features for restricting access to data. -- http://www.coker.com.au/selinux/ My NSA Security Enhanced Linux packages http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ hard drive benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/postal/ Postal SMTP/POP benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page
