Unfortunately, pam_keyring isn't a great answer in the general case due to users logging in with things other than passwords (think smartcards) as well as some of the weirdness around password changing and keyring password changing. And since we're after the feature freeze (test2) and the final test release, there's just no way to reasonably do something for FC6. Hopefully for FC7 (... when hopefully we'll also be using NetworkManager by default, *sigh*) Jeremy -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
