Good documentation on how to integrate NetworkManager with Kwallet. Seems to be the weak link with most packages. All it would take is a simple "Would you like to save this information in Kwallet" dialog. And most people that know how seem to be very reluctant to share the knowledge. I don't want to seem picky here but this is the reason most people I talk to -don't- migrate to a linux distro. The lack of this type of integration. But now this has gotten off of the subject. Still plowing along. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
