Though normally there's a 'login' keychain that somehow gets created and is locked with your login password. At least in GNOME it gets unlocked automatically for you when you log in. Not entirely sure how that works though :) Dan ___ networkmanager-list mailing list networkmanager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list

If gnome-keyring isn't built with D-Bus support, then you need to start "gnome-keyring-daemon --daemonize --login" when your desktop session starts. This will print out an environment variable that needs to be inserted into the environment of any other program that starts in the session, which looks like this: GNOME_KEYRING_CONTROL=/tmp/keyring-hSwpKJ this lets programs like nm-applet know where to look for the keyring daemon, which is what actually stores your passwords securely. If you google around there used to be instructions on how to get KDE to handle running gnome-keyring-daemon manually, I'd assume that whatever session manager is starting up your desktop probably has the same functionality.

It's fine here in xfce, fwiw. -RW ___ networkmanager-list mailing list networkmanager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
