Brief Hands-On Report--Login & Keychain Update 1.0 for Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard

Apple released Login & Keychain Update 1.0 for Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard. It is available via Software Update or as a stand-alone file from this Apple Web page. According to Apple,

The Login & Keychain Update 1.0 for Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard is recommended for all Leopard installations. It addresses issues you may encounter when:

• 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.

We downloaded and installed the update via Software Update on several Macs--it required a restart. As our Macs were shutting down, a new dialog box popped up stating that the Boot Caches were being updated--it was dismissed with an OK button and after awhile shutdown finished and our Macs restarted. Our 12" PowerBook G4 uses a "g" Wi-Fi network and has its home folder protected with FileVault. No issues were encountered from installing the update. [Bill Fox]
