This comes from a bug in Tiger -serious!
There is an update to install.
I found the issue before the update appeared, here is my understanding
of it, which probably is quite uncertain:

- for macs where OSX has been installed for a very long time (e. g.
since 10.0)
- and where one uses a very short admin name
- the updating program has trouble transfering the old keychain
- instead it saves it with a funny name somewhere, "login_renamed1"
- and then when you restart you have no more keychain
- this must raise trouble not only with PM but with every other app that
uses keychain, including e. g. your airport autoconnection etc.

What I did is launch the keychain managing app and require that this
login_renamed1 be the default keychain, to be open at login. It solved
my passwords issues. I didn't manage to rename the said keychain :-(
Then one hour later Apple issued the keychain patch, I ran it, saw
nothing new, am still stuck with the funny name, but working so far...
