It appears that the Live Mesh client on for the Mac re-writes the "Live Id:name" keychain entry several times a day, even though the password contained in the entry has not changed. E.g., it seems any time it has to re-authenticate to the server, it re-writes this keychain entry as though the user had entered the password for the first time.
This is an annoyance as I sync my keychains between two different Macs and as a result of this re-write, I get one of MobileMe's "more than 5% of your keychains have been modified" pop-ups several times a day.
Can you please fix the Mac client to only write the "Live Id:name" key when the value has actually changed?
Thanks,
Chris
Hi Chris,
We've opened a new bug to track this. If you could collect your Live Mesh logs as nachmore advised and send email to
lmprev@microsoft.com, mentioning bug 25139 in the Subject line, we'd appreciate it. Also, please include the details of the issue, your forum handle, and the title of this forum thread in the body of your email, if you don't mind.
<Edit> nachmore is also correct that if you'd like access to the Live Mesh Connect site, in order to file bugs that way, you need only send your Live ID to
lmprev@microsoft.com and request access. Please send this request in its own email, however, so that it does not get overlooked in your other email.
Thank you for helping us test Live Mesh,
Ben.
