The NS port needs the Mac OS X keychain functions: http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Security/Conceptual/keychainServConcepts/03tasks/tasks.html in order to be better integrated with the OS-level security in Mac OS X, especially for users that want to share passwords between other Mac OS X applications and Emacs. Can we please get SecKeychainItemModifyAttributesAndData(), SecKeychainAddInternetPassword(), SecKeychainFindInternetPassword(), SecKeychainAddGenericPassword(), and SecKeychainFindGenericPassword() added? I don't know that platform well so it would take me a while; it seems like a fairly simple task for someone more expert (and there's full source code on that page). Thanks Ted
