I have, after some research and testing, found a consistent and fairly standard way to resolve the problem of Evo not remembering the account passwords in SuSE 10.2. I'm a KDE user, and there is a slightly different solution for GNOME.
1. Install the pam_keyring RPM: (http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/distribution/10.2/repo/oss/suse/i586/pam_keyring-0.0.8-32.i586.rpm) PAM is Linux's Pluggable Authentication Module - modules which can be added to provide authentication for added functionality. I recently started using it when I needed to mount Samba shares from SuSE 10.2 to my Linux server. Works very well. 2. Add these two lines to /etc/pam.d/gdm: auth optional pam_keyring.so try_first_pass session optional pam_keyring.so 3. *KDE only* Open YaST, go to the System menu option, then open the /etc/sysconfig Editor. Navigate to Desktop/Display Manager and choose the first entry (DISPLAYMANAGER). From the drop-down, select gdm (the GNOME Display Manager). Selecting this will _not_ affect the operation of KDE. 4. Reboot. Logging off and on is not enough for this step. 5. Open Evo. You will need to enter all account passwords the first time. 6. As a sanity check, you can open gnome-keyring-manager from a command prompt (not as root - as yourself) and you will find the definitions for your accounts in the "default" keyring. Note: I tested kdm and gdm - there is an error in the messages file when pam_keyring tries to start gnome_keyring_daemon using kdm. It works as it should using gdm. I hope this is of help to anyone contemplating Evo on SuSE 10.2, which is a very good distribution indeed.
