Network Manager & Keyring password

esauve · 2007-12-19 20:26:58

This question has probably been asked "ad nauseam" but I'm trying to get Network Manager (in GNOME) to stop asking me for my keyring password. I searched in the forums and I found out there used to be a pam_keyring package that took care of this but it's not available anymore. Strangely this can be done with other distros so surely, it is also doable in Arch, right? TIA.

See this thread:

Let me know if that worked. I stopped using network-manager because of this.

If you're successful, you could edit the Wiki afterwards.

Thanks a lot for the tip!

Works like a charm.

Excellent idea about modifying the wiki but I wonder if I should edit "Wireless Setup" or "Network Manager" portion of the wiki?

Thanks again.

I'd say edit NewtworkManager and add a link to the PAM section on the Wifi Setup page.

Is this possible without logging in using gdm? I use networkmanager in XFCE with slim login manager and can't manage to get this to work.

I was able to disable the annoying 'feature' whereby the Gnome Keyring keeps asking for a password at login by editing /etc/pam.d/login in addition to the other edits suggested to /etc/pam.d/gdm (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Net … Kit_issues). I also deleted ~/.gnome2/keyrings. This is especially useful since I don't use gdm to login, rather loggin straight from the shell. YMMV if you use kde or another DE.

I solved this not long after the last post in this thread .... 2 years ago.
