My Fedora 10 machine uses NIS for authentication. I changed my NIS
password. I was able to successfully log into my Fedora box, but my
first attempt to open an SSH session to another machine in
gnome-terminal is blocked by the keyring, which wants the old password.
Is this really acceptable? I don't know why I would need to access my
local keyring in order to open a remote SSH terminal session anyway.
But the keyring never helped with anything; I would still have had to
enter a password for this connection, only with the keyring I have to
enter two.
I don't remember being invited to create the original keyring, nor was I
given an option to fix the problem when it occurred, nor does there seem
to be local documentation to explain what is going on (other than a
general description of what the keyring is supposed to do). I had to
search the Internet to find a way out of this, and I suppose I'll have
the same problem if I change my password again.
