AFAIK, there isn't a solution for Linux yet. This is the first I have learned about kwarnd. > > [snip] > > cheers, > > -- Luke > > P.S.

I have some ccache code that had an issue with locating the correct keyring. It used an environment variable as a temporary solution.

If you'd like to look at what I have and make suggestions or improvements, I'd welcome that.
