Hi all.

I've been having problems with my keychain and at one point I deleted my keychain entries to start over as I was having trouble with my network.

Now I seem to be having trouble with other apps.

Neither Chicken of the VNC or my Gmail Notifier seem to remember their passwords.


Any ideas?

my keychain was all screwed up too and someone recommended trashing it and starting a new one. instead of going in the actual keychain access and fiddling with it in there, i just deleted the entire keychain file in:

users/(youruser)/library/keychains/login.keychain

logged out, logged back in, re entered all of my passwords and saved in the new keychain whenever i was prompted, and problem was solved. i think my keychain initially got weirded out after an upgrade or an archive and install.
