NAME

       libgnome-keyring - gnome keyring library.

DESCRIPTION

       GNOME Keyring is a system to store passwords and other sensitive data in a standardized way across all GNOME applications.

       A  keyring  stores  a collection of encrypted passwords and encrypted information about those passwords. A user can have multiple keyrings,
       each for a different use, but there is a default one, called 'login'. There is also a special 'session' keyring which is not stored on disk
       and goes away when you log out.

       When a user logs into GNOME, the keyrings are locked and a master keyring password has to be provided in order to unlock each of them.

       GNOME  Keyring  includes  an  SSH  agent which integrates with the gnome-keyring and user login for its passwords. It can also use the main
       X.509 private key store.

       GNOME Keyring will set the SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable when it starts up.

       The id_rsa and id_dsa files in ~/.ssh are automatically usable through the SSH agent without first 'loading' them. Other X.509 private keys
       marked with the 'ssh-authentication' purpose are also usable.

       Additional SSH keys can be manually loaded and managed via the ssh-add command.

       If  you	use another SSH agent(such as the ssh-agent included with OpenSSH), you may want to disable the SSH agent in GNOME Keyring to pre-
       vent ssh from using it instead of your prefered SSH agent. You can set /apps/gnome-keyring/daemon-components/ssh gconf key to  false.  This
       prevents the SSH component of gnome-keyring from starting up when the user logs in.
