I just added bug #376225 before finding this. I'll leave it to others to decide whether to mark as a duplicate, since this bug is supposedly about LDAP, Active Directory, or Kerberos also.
However, I think I can contribute to this discussion. Sebastien Bacher wrote: > how would you suggest it to know about system password changes and the new > password to use? The mechanism has already existed at one point, see /usr/share/doc/gnome-keyring/README.Debian. It suggests you add the following line to /etc/pam.d/common-password: password optional pam_gnome_keyring.so I tried this and it does not work, it must have been broken at some point. To fix this bug, I suggest you fix this feature, and make it the default. I'd also like to say, however, that I feel marking this bug as "Wishlist" is inappropriate. Two people I know spent months being forced to type their old, long-obsoleted passwords just so NetworkManager would allow them on their wireless network. This is a bug.

You're talking about preserving a severe usability issue, for the sake of a feature that is completely useless to almost anybody. You could consider following Alex Mauer's step-by-step suggestion to keep the option available. Otherwise, just forget about it, and tie the login keyring to the login password. No one will mind and many will be helped. -- libpam-gnome-keyring: keyring password should be updated or cleared when a new system password is used https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/322827 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
