During my upgrade to Leopard I got an error message about keychain. Forget what it was, it had 3 choices and I selected the highlighted default choice. Now, I think my keychain is broken. I ran the keychain utility, but it's not fixing it. Well, it did give me a new login.keychain and renamed the old one to login_renamed1.keychain...but now I have a new problem. At a minimum, it won't save my password for my mailboxes in mail.app. Every time I quit mail and re-launch, I have to re-enter my passwords for each mail box. Also, my iDisk acts flaky. When I try to enter my username/pw in system preferences it tells me it's incorrect, then it loads my iDisk! If try to sych from system preferences I get an error saying my username or pw is incorrect, but then in the finder I can access my iDisk locally. In looking at keychains, there are only 2 keychains:

System
System Roots

I know on my old AIBook, there are 4 keychains. Does anyone have any suggestions? I just did another archive and install, and it's no better.
Thanks, T.

Did you apply the Login and Keychain software update?

Oh, I just went to keychain and added the new login. Is that all I need to do?

Run the Software Update...Apple released an update that addresses keychain problems on Saturday.
