Re: automatic unlocking of keyring

That "works", but is not ideal, as it means the keyring pam daemon will
ask for the password instead of using the cached result from the
system-auth result. This is clearly a problem if you mistype you
password...

The solution is to fix the system-auth so that it runs and then runs the
pam modules after it. This is fixed in rawhide with the pam-stacks
supports i believe.


Hi

I'm only asked to enter the password once (on login by gdm). Even if I typed the password incorrectly, that wouldn't mean problems, since I wouldn't be logged in in the first place, so how could it be causing problems. Once I enter my password correctly, it caches the correct password and uses that to unlock the keyring.

Although I agree that fixing system-auth is the right thing to do anyways (because it makes local mods so much easier), this actually appear to be working fine just the same.

Perhaps I misunderstand you, please enlighten me if you feel that I do.

Thanks.
