Login & Keychain Update 1.0 Released

Apple has released Login & Keychain Update 1.0. The update, which is recommended for all users of Mac OS 10.5 Leopard, addresses a few issues according to Apple, including:

- Logging in with an account originally created in Mac OS X 10.1 or earlier that has a password of 8 or more characters.
- Connecting to some 802.11b/g wireless networks.
- Changing the password of a FileVault-protected account.

Update went without a hitch.

Seems to be ok and all keychains working so far...

Can a bug get more obscure than that? You can hardly blame Apple (as people did in this thread, for example) for not catching a bug like this while testing Leopard.

Wow. Thats crazy... how is that possible?

Upgrade installations for the last six years on the 867mhz (bottom of Leopard's barrel) Powermac?

Amazing.

The thread you quoted was a bug with Aperture getting messed up because of Time Machine. Seems a bit bigger, as Aperture is one of Apple's major media products.

I had the same general problem with passwords as everyone else, but had an even more disheartening problem with my CPU being maxed out by user tasks. Just a solid green field in the activity monitor window with no applications running. I had a kernel crash during the restart after installing 10.5 and it seemed to have created some lasting bug in my root system. I tried a reinstall after other basic troubleshooting, but did not fix the problem. Once Apple released the keychain update, I ran it and after the install there was a dialogue box that messaged that the system root folders were being checked/fixed. Once I restarted, the CPU/User problem was gone.

Just a head up.
I installed the update even though I wasn't having any issues. Upon restart my computer started installing the update and then froze, I had to do a hard restart but everything seems fine now. I think a couple other people had this problem too.

I would suggest to maybe hit restart later and wait a little bit before restarting.

That happened to me too. First time it froze so I switched it off. Tried again and it froze. Third time lucky though.
