Can I grab the current user's login password?
Asked by
David Rahrer
Perhaps I am missing this, or maybe it's not possible. I need to provide my password securely to the startup script for a program (Transmission) on Ubuntu Karmic. So if I am logged in as "foo" is there a way to get foo's password using gkeyring? If so, how? I'm in unfamiliar territory but I've been able to test gkeyring to retrieve other passwords, but there doesn't even appear to be a visible entry in Gnome Keyring (Seahorse?) for this.
Thanks!
