Shane -
I've been having Keychain problems with my G3 Dual-USB iBook for a few
weeks now and let me tell you...it is gigantic pain in the rear.
This is a really complex problem and there's no way to reduce it to a
simple answer.
My problem is connected with Safari and Keychain. Launch Safari, go to
any Apple site, Safari crashes and the Keychain won't function unless I
restart. Everything then runs fine until I launch Safari again and it
repeats all over again.
Go to Apple.com > Support tab > Discussion tab > and do a search for
Keychain in the Discussion groups. You'll get tons of info...sadly, no one,
even Apple, seems to have come up with a solution to date.
An example of one post follows.
Good luck,
bob
