pam_keyring

[Richard Kleeman]

I use it on Dapper to avoid this "problem" and it is still a little 
flakey albeit better than constantly filling in passwords ;-). I am 
under the impression that Network Manager 0.7 will have its own password 
support rather than using pam thereby avoiding this issue.
