I also had the Evo and network key issue, entering the keyring password for each one, now they both "Just Work (tm)". I can't remember where I found the config (sorry) but its not just a simple thing that you can flick on and off, you need to install it (gnome-keyring-pam) from yum, edit some pam config files and more importantly, your user login password and keyring password need to be the identical. From memory, you can't change/easily change the keyring password (I might be wrong on that - I can't check atm), so in that case you would need to change your login password to match, and that also means that if you regularly change/rotate your passwords, then you would need to change your keyring password too (if you can!) Some of this this may be incorrect - I'm going entirely from memory, as I dont have access to my Linux boxen atm. If you like, when i get back later I can check my config and post it here -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
