Sometime between 10.2.8 and umm...now, my permissions got really screwed up. When I open email, it always asks for my email passwords, iChat always asks me for my aim password. I can't use the iPhoto webpage creator or backup because system prefs wont hold onto my password. I've tried verifying and repairing permissions, I don't know what else to do. Any help would be appreciated.

so the option to save passwords in your programs isnt working? The only other thing I can think of is to trash the prefs to the programs effected (try it with one that isnt that important to see if it works) I know its not that fun but they might be currupted.:(

Have you tried fixing it to "always allow" in Keychain?
