Login & Keychain Update 1.0
Leopard users, you have your first OS update waiting for you. The Login & Keychain Update 1.0 fixes a couple of issues with logging in and Keychain (shocking, yes?). According to the Apple documentation it corrects issues with the following, and I quote:
- 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.

I've installed this update and nothing is working!
My Airport will connect to my home network - it says connected. But it won't let me surf anywhere. The password is right.. I know that.
I've tried manually putting in my ip address - but no luck.
I can even connect to unprotected wireless zones in my neighbourhood and surf around - but my connected one won't let me.
THIS is frustrating. Anyone have any ideas?

I've had quite a few problems with Leopard... it changed my status from "Administrator" to "Standard." Now, I cannot change any of the system preferences. No one is even listed as an administrator in the "Accounts" menu of System Preferences. I cannot do this Keychain update mentioned in the thread because it requires the administrator name and password - THAT'S ME BUT THEY NO LONGER WORK!!!!!!!
I won't even get into the issues of not being able to sync with my .Mac account. I called customer support for help - they tried resetting the password (holding down the C trick), but that didn't work. Their answer: try reinstalling.
All in all, two big thumbs down!

I got a very odd message after this update that said "The boot caches are being updated. The system will commence shutdown once the files are finished updating." It did in fact restart just fine, but, that error was scary. With the amount of problems Leopard users, including myself, are experiencing, I'm worried to do anything with this system right now!

Funny - it appears to have broken Airport on my Mac Pro. Oh, and I still have the original authentication issue.

Mike B., I got that same message. That must be standard for this update.
Did anyone else have the update download, and then it asks you to restart, and after you hit restart, THEN it starts installing the update? Normally it installs before prompting to restart. This seemed a little odd to me? Did this happen for everyone else?

I had issues with Keychain on my G4 MDD - the login account setting in Keychain access was set to re-lock after 5 minutes, despite me giving the necessary apps access to the keychain. .Mac Sync and Mail constantly prompted for my password. Fixed by changing the preferences and settings for the login keychain by using these instructions http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305146
Working fine now, and never a problem on my MacBook or the wife's 17" iMac C2D..

Installing this causes a kernel panic when my powerbook G4 starts up. My machine doesn't work at all now.

Started in Safe boot mode. I'd love to send the report to apple that Mac OSX has unexpectedly quit, but now my airport card isn't recognized.

Don't upgrade from Tiger to Leopard. Just do an Erase and Install. The time and effort to copy over your personal docs will be far less than the frustration of converting old technology into new technology (cf, keychain, spotlight, etc.).

#4 and #7: I got the same message and then my MBP froze on the restart. I had to do a hard restart. Everything seems to be ok now, but that was the first problem I have ever had with an update. Hope everything is ok now.

I wonder if all the people here having problems did an upgrade or a clean install? I'd bet most of them were upgrades, if not all, as those seem to provide trouble that clean installs never create.

I did an upgrade. Haven't had a problem yet.

would this solve the PubSubAgent issue? (related to mail RSS feeds?)

Dear Lord, that update was the slowest and most awkward thing ever. It seemed to install quickly, but then shutdown halfway and just kept "working". Finally I get a message about updating boot caches or something, THEN it reboots. It took a good 10 minutes on my MacBook Pro.

I just installed Leopard (I was previously on 10.3) on my 12" Powerbook and had no issues. I noticed the software updates..so I loaded them and as I was restarting, received the folowing message.
"The boot caches are being updated. The system will commence shutdown once the files are finished updating."
After restarting, I could not connect to the wireless network. I clicked on Airport and it said "No Airport Card Installed".
I love Leopard...well done Apple!

I installed the update on my Aluminum iMac and, while I got the same messages #4 I assumed those were part of the update. Everything is working fine for me after my initial clean install and this update. No hangs, no pauses, just smooth clean Leopard. With the exception of the menu bar at the top of the screen I am loving this update. All of my software is working just fine, including Command & Conqueror 3, which I was worried about. .Mac is working great, Back to My Mac is awesome and preferance syncing is absolutely awesome. Setup one mac while I installed a second. Once I logged into the second one all my prefs were pulled down and I was done. Just great!

If you're having Airport issues, try this:
Go to your /System/Library/Extensions folder and delete AppleAirPort2.kext if it's there. Apparently that's a remnant file from Tiger, and not needed.
I had the an Airport issues (#2 and #17) with my 24" iMac and the above fixed it.
YMMV...
