Security issue in Beginner's Guide

In this guide:

http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Net … fter_login

Regarding this script:

$!/bin/sh
echo PASSWORD | /usr/bin/pam-keyring-tool --unlock --keyring=default -s

It seems awfully insecure to have my password stored in a plaintext file.

Is there a better way to have NetworkManager start up upon boot without asking for a password or WPA key?
