Description Michael Wolf 2006-05-11 04:14:50 UTC

And why do I want one?

The initial "keyring" window

This dialogue does not explain what a keyring is.  It does not explain why I should want one (or why I might not).  There are two fields where I can apparently enter a password, twice.  But maybe not; I'm just guessing.  When I hit OK nothing happens to say whether it "stuck".

To get this dialogue, I ran gaim.

Yes, they are entries for a password (should match) that will be used to lock/unlock your keyring for passwords to be stored.

Comment 4 JP Rosevear 2007-02-09 21:31:06 UTC

Should be solved with pam_keyring.
