That's the case... Although my computer isn't exactly "headless". I do have a monitor and keyboard I connect to it sometime to use it at my desk. The problem is when I go away from my house and needs remote access to it. Because it crashes sometimes due to the AMD/memory or IGP (don't know yet), once it reboots I can't remote access it. That's why the keyring really bothers me.<div>

</div>Wait a minute. I know see what you are saying... the keyring is asking<br>
for a password on the headless machine (I've just checked in Maverick as<br>
well). This must be a recent change, perhaps for security reasons?<br>
<br>
In any event, I see what you are referring to & sorry for the previous.<br>
I'll see if I can figure out why and a solution as this affects me as<br>
well (hadn't booted those machines in awhile).<br>
