Lorenzo,

I can appreciate that you have been having trouble getting answers to your keychain questions, and it can be frustrating when you've looked around but not found the answer. However, given the amount of traffic to this list and the focus of this list, such questions are not appropriate here. As someone pointed out, there is a CDSA list where you might find more assistance.

Thanks,

Yes, this is exactly the case. I've actually deleted the Keychain and rebuilt it. Of course making sure its password was the same as the login password. There are also two items in the Keychain preferences that need to be set for auto unlocking to work properly, I don't have it in front to me right now , but one one of the items is synchronize the login password and keychain password. So, I'm stumped.

I apologize for this, I know its way off topic, but I've tried
Apple's discussions list and Usenet. There does not seem to be
relevant discussion mailing list from Apple and I can't afford
Apple developer support, so I'm turning here as a last resort. I
have an app which mounts volumes at user login. It works just fine
with 10.2. and 10.3, if the Keychain Access program is setup to
unlock at login, but it does not work correctly with 10.4. The
system prompts for the Keychain password. I've also noticed that
iSync prompts for the password every-time it syncs. So, I'm sure
its something I'm not understanding in regards to the Keychain. So
my question is:
Can someone offer some pointers or some direction as to how I can
find an answer to this?



So you're saying it's asking you specifically to unlock the keychain, not just to access the particular item(s)? It sounds like your login password & keychain password are different; in that case you will always have to unlock keychains manually.

Why it would have changed with 10.4 however, I don't know... I seem
to recall someone saying the inappropriate unlocking was fixed in
10.4, but I'm not sure if the keychain even works like that...
