Whenever I log in on Ubuntu Lucid Lynx 10.04 I get a Seahorse/gnome-keyring prompt telling me an application wants to access my keyring. It isn't the network manager, because if I cancel the request my network connection is still established (also, this only started happening recently). How can I tell which application is making this request? The prompt doesn't provide this information.
How can I tell *which* application is asking for access to gnome-keyring/Seahorse?
gnome;password;gnome keyring
From a security perspective, the answer is that in current distros you can't tell which application it is. See this bug report for clarification from a gnome-keyring developer, including the security implications and scope of the task.From a practical perspective I am also using auto-login on Ubuntu, and it seems that it is indeed nm-applet.
