Not always. Not if you prepopulate the keychain, and set up the applications
with authorization. I've done it, it's pretty handy. Setting up the
application access is a bit of a pain, since the Dictionary for Keychain
Scripting doesn't let you do this, and the UI is SO BADLY set up, that even
UI scripting is painful, but you can easily automate all but the application
setup. I wrote an app that does this...my one, and so far only foray into
AppleScript Studio.
