[opensuse-factory] Promiscuous wallet access by knetworkmanager
Hi opensuse-factory, Is there someone else except me noticing that knetworkmanager wants to access kwallet more often than necessary? It keeps asking me for my wallet password every time I reconnect to a wifi network, even when the key should be cached. Even worse, it queries the wallet password when connecting to unencrypted networks, i.e. when no key is stored at all. Oddly enough, I noticed that these obsolete requests to access kwallet occur at the time when the connection has just been established, and not when the connection is initiated. I submitted bug 612771 already a few days ago. Cheers, Michael -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Yes, I see this, too. I guess it stores everything in the wallet, not only the key. And once you connect to a network, it stores some "last used" time there. Just a guess though.
Oddly enough, I noticed that these obsolete requests to access kwallet occur at the time when the connection has just been established, and not when the connection is initiated.
This would be explained by the above guess.

I switched to nm-applet instead ;) (but not because of the wallet annoyance but because 3G does not work with ericsson-mbm and knetworkmanager). -- Stefan Seyfried "Any ideas, John?"
