Hi

I'm only asked to enter the password once (on login by gdm). Even if I 
typed the password incorrectly, that wouldn't mean problems, since I 
wouldn't be logged in in the first place, so how could it be causing 
problems. Once I enter my password correctly, it caches the correct 
password and uses that to unlock the keyring.

Although I agree that fixing system-auth is the right thing to do 
anyways (because it makes local mods so much easier), this actually 
appear to be working fine just the same.

Perhaps I misunderstand you, please enlighten me if you feel that I do.

Thanks.
