Changing the login keychain's password


  • Subject: Changing the login keychain's password

I want to write an applescript that will:
1) Prompt the client for their current password and what they want to change the password to.
2) Change the login password (account is local, not authenticating against a directory service) to the new password.
3)  Set the password to unlock the keychain to the new password
4)  Update Entourage's key.

Right now I'm having trouble with step 3.  I can use the dscl command to change the local account password but what about the keychain?  Unless I'm misreading the  dictionary keychain scripting does not have a feature to change the keychain's password, just the keys password.  Any suggestions?
