GNOME PAM keyring / GDM auto login / NetworkManager Trouble

http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=40553
I followed that post and was able to get gnome pam keyring automatically unlock my keyring password upon
logging in manually from GDM.

However, it does not work when I set up GDM to automatically login. NetworkManager prompts me for keyring password. Is it possible to fix this?

Thanks.

Nope.  Unless you do something dire.

#!/bin/sh
exec echo -n "PASSWORD" | /usr/lib/pam_keyring/pam-keyring-tool -u -s

Stick that in a script file only you can read and put it somewhere it'll startup after keyring does.
I'm assuming you already have pam_keyring.

At least, this was the only path prior to Gnome 2.20.  I don't *think* anything has changed.

Thanks. But pam-keyring has been obsoleted and is replaced by gnome-keyring, as I just learned. Also pam-keyring is not available in AUR or the repositories.

Pam module "pam_gnome_keyring.so" comes with gnome-keyring package, so you probaly already have it.

See Edit ...

I had this problem for my parent's computer (they can't remember any password and that set them mad !) but I finally managed to do what I wanted :

I follow the post to enable pam_gnome_keyring.so here http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=40553

Then, right at login, in gnome's administration panel, (or System>Administration) go to "Password Manager". There is a new set (or keyring, I don't know how it's named in english) named 'login'. You will see that the "default" keyring isn't unlocked. Click on it and it will ask for password. In this prompt, there is a new option : "Unlock this keyring when I log in". Check it !

Edit : OK, I rebooted and setting where all gone... It doesn't work. It's getting me mad... When will GNOME guys work to simplify our lives ? KEEP IT SIMPLE (, you) STUPID !

I don't see how this is done.
