What pgm reads the /etc/network/interfaces file? (Installation WPA worked great! Too bad I messed with it!)

The keychain password is set on install to be the same as the users
password.   If you change the user's password thru 'passwd' it doesn't
update the keychain password - it will still be the same as it ever
was.

If you can't retrieve it, you can delete the keychain and start a new
one called 'login'.  Give it the same password as the user and it will
unlock on login.
