Comment 17 for bug 34898

Hi Frank,

I'm guessing that libpam-gnome-keyring only works if you enter your password at the gdm login screen i.e. not if you configure gnome to do an autologin (I could be wrong -- don't have gutsy installed to check). Thus you will always have to enter at least one password before using encrypted wireless. This is a good thing in terms of security of course, and is probably appropriate for the default install.

On the other hand it doesn't really suit me, so I made a patch which gives more convenience at the expense of some security. Perhaps we could add an option to allow the applet to run in this less secure mode if the user requests it?

Thanks,

Robert
