gnome-keyring for Debian
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
Password caching
|
|
----------------
|
|
GNOME keyring caches the passwords in memory, and when asked to, it will
|
|
store them on disk (in .gnome2/keyrings). They are encrypted with the
|
|
AES128 cipher, using a master password as key.
|
|
|
|
Login keyring
|
|
-------------
|
|
If you use GDM, and libpam-gnome-keyring is installed, the GNOME keyring
|
|
daemon is spawned directly at the time of authentication, and the
|
|
keyring named "login" is unlocked. This keyring uses the authentication
|
|
token as a master password.
|
|
|
|
Otherwise, it is launched by the session manager, and you will be asked
|
|
for a password for the "Default" keyring.
|
|
|
|
If you change your authentication password (using passwd or
|
|
gnome-control-center for example), the password for the login keyring
|
|
should be updated automatically.
|
|
|
|
SSH agent
|
|
---------
|
|
The GNOME keyring includes the functionality of the SSH agent, and it
|
|
can break some setups, especially if ssh-agent is started by hand.
|
|
You can disable it by removing the gnome-keyring-ssh element from the
|
|
startup applications.
