Fixing a broken Keychain after a Retrospect restore
Authored by: martinx on Apr 30, '03 01:40:17PM
I recently posted a thread related to this subject in the forums.

Basically the problem I was experiencing is that the Keychain would periodically "forget" my wireless key, causing the frequent unpleasant experience of having to re-enter a 26 character value. During the process of trying to troubleshoot the problem I noticed that if I made a copy of the keychain file and copied it back when the keychain forgot my key the keychain would suddenly "pretend" that there were *no* keys. My conclusion for this is that the keychain file for some reason had to be managed in a special way. Not sure why the wireless key was singled out for deletion, though since I changed access so it has to prompt me every time it wants it I haven't seen the problem re-occur.

Deleting the wireless key seems to have something to do with switching to a different wireless network and then back. (That's my experience, anyway....)

Maybe you've got a neighbor with an access point that your machine is occasionally picking up?
