Running Fedora 8 with all latest updates applied I randomly get a slew of the following messages: Jan 10 13:15:10 localhost gnome-keyring-daemon[2113]: Credentials byte was not nul It seems to occur in the vicinity of ntpd stuff: Jan 10 13:07:53 localhost ntpd[1665]: synchronized to 216.52.237.153, stratum 2 Eventually the system (A Dell Optiplex 150) powers itself off. I notice via google that the gnome-keyring-daemon seems to have a few problems but nome that seem to match this problem. Any ideas about what is going on? -- Donald A.
