Recent updates on Debian for Novell’s<\/a> (formerly Ximian’s<\/a>) Evolution<\/a> E-mail programme added support for gnome-keyring. When you start Evolution for the 1st time after the recent updates Evolution will ask for the gnome-keyring password, then for your smtp password (password for your e-mail account). This can be a bit of a pain, especially for less experienced users. If your using GDM as your login manager (the login screen) you can install the libpam-gnome-keyring and have this done for you at login.<\/p>\n

Updated March 2008 with formatting changes.<\/em><\/p>\n

First install libpam-gnome-keyring<\/a>:<\/p>\n

sudo aptitude install libpam-gnome-keyring<\/code><\/p>\n

Then read this file:<\/p>\n

less \/usr\/share\/doc\/libpam-gnome-keyring\/README.Debian<\/code><\/p>\n

The only thing you should have to do is this:<\/p>\n

If you want the default password to be correctly changed together with he login password, you need to add the following line to etc\/pam.d\/common-password:<\/p>\n

password optional pam_gnome_keyring.so<\/p>\n

If you want to start gnome_keyring from another display manager, you need to add the following lines to the corresponding \/etc\/pam.d\/?dm file:<\/p>\n

auth optional pam_gnome_keyring.so<\/p>\n

session optional pam_gnome_keyring.so auto_start<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If you saw my other instructions, they were wrong! (And deleted!) \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

However, it is possible that this wont’ work! Before you do anything else, check the file \/etc\/pam.d\/gdm and see if the following 2 lines are already there:<\/p>\n

auth optional pam_gnome_keyring.so
\nsession optional pam_gnome_keyring.so auto_start<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If they aren’t, you’ll have to add them. So make a backup copy of the file:<\/p>\n

sudo cp \/etc\/pam.d\/gdm \/etc\/pam.d\/gdm.org<\/code><\/p>\n

and add the 2 lines to the END of the file. My copy of the file looks like this:<\/p>\n

#%PAM-1.0
\nauth requisite pam_nologin.so
\nauth required pam_env.so readenv=1
\nauth required pam_env.so readenv=1 envfile=\/etc\/default\/locale
\n@include common-auth
\n@include common-account
\nsession required pam_limits.so
\n@include common-session
\n@include common-password
\nauth optional pam_gnome_keyring.so
\nsession optional pam_gnome_keyring.so auto_start<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
