[gentoo-user] problems with gnome-keyring-daemon

[covici]

Hi.  I have a problem where sometime after reboot, I get hundreds of
processes gnome-keyring-daemon --deamonize and this is without even
running gdm or gnome at all!  They complain about not being able to find
the display, but they all sit there and it may slow down my box, or at
least I am sure I should not have such.  Last time this happened I
killed them with seemingly no ill effect, but does anyone know the cause
for this and how to stop?  I don't mind if I am using gnome, to have
however many are necessary, but it seems kind of strange without gnome,
I still  am getting such.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I have exactly one instance of gnome-keyring-daemonize after booting up
(no X session, just booting to console).

I remember many months ago answering "yes" to some installation dialog
asking me if I want to authenticate during bootup using gnome-keyring,
but sadly I can't remember now who asked me that question :(

The only clue I can think of is here:

#grep -rI gnome /etc/pam.d/
/etc/pam.d/system-login:auth            optional        pam_gnome_keyring.so
/etc/pam.d/system-login:password        optional        pam_gnome_keyring.so
/etc/pam.d/system-login:session         optional        pam_gnome_keyring.so auto_start

There are more gnome-keyring entries in /etc/xdg/autostart/ but IIUC
those are used only by X desktop programs. Maybe(?)

Which logs does gnome-keyring-daemon complain to about the missing display?

It is in my journal and it talks about not being able to connect to dbus
or something -- I don't have it  in front of me right now.  I will take
the autostart out and see if that fixes things -- thanks a lot.
