Bug#292926: passwords are sometimes stored on harddisk and sometimes not
Package: knode
Version: 3.3.1-3
Following scenario: I use an NNTP server that requires authentication, so I
entered a username and password in the knode setup.
Now, when I close knode, I get a popup of the kwallet setup wizard. I don't
want to use kwallet (to be honest, I haven't considered its use yet, and
until I have evaluated it I'm not going to change) so I press ESC to cancel
the wizard. This gives me the error-message
| The wallet could not be opened. This error is most
| probably caused by providing a wrong password.
which is pretty braindead in this context.
Next time I start knode, I can still access the server, so the authentication
information is in fact stored somewhere. Now, when I close that instance, I
don't get the kwallet dialog, it just exits.
However, now the password is not being stored anywhere, because the next time
I open knode I have to reenter it. When I close that instance, I again get
the kwallet dialog.
The two states described above occur alternatingly and reproducibly.
cheers
Uli
