Hi Joseph,
In my address book, I've got several of those too. I believe they're certificates from people who have signed their messages. If you don't know them, they're probably on a list you're on.
That's definitely a possibility.
It bugs me that Apple lumps things together like this because there's another possibility as well. If spam comes with a certificate, what do you suppose might happen?
It's a bit of a pain, but I would prefer the keychain, in the default settings, prompted the user before storing any certificates. I'd also like to be able to set it to prompt before storing addresses, as well, but that's just something I can live with. When it stores certificates I don't know anything about, the chain of trust tends to have even less to do with me. Some things simply can't be mechanized.

Hi Everyone,
I looked at man security, just for kicks and I dumped the keychains. I was suprised to find email addresses for people who I do not know. I am a single user powerbook with dial up 56k access.
Is this normal to have email keychain data for people I do not know?
I could post those emails, but in case they're legitimate, I don't want them to get spammed. Any suggestions?
Joe.

Yeah, check out the 'security' command-line program. I use it in conjunction with Module::Release so that I don't have to type my PAUSE password every time I upload something to CPAN - it just fetches the password from my keychain.

I need to authenticate users in a perl CGI and was hoping to use the Keychain but can't find a perl way to do that. Has anybody done that before?
