Leopard: System was unable to unlock your login keychain

I found this article that, pretty much, describes my problem.

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3799

It gives 3 scenarios for "continue log in"/"Create New Keychain"/"Update Keychain Password"

Directories are wiped with each user with a script I created. However, the next user that logs in gets the above error.

I'm sure it's a permissions problem with the way my script recursively resets permissions on the users folder, however - what I'd like to know:

...is there anyway I can "script" in a default answer: CONTINUE LOG IN
?

For now, I just want a quick work around.

Thanks_Ramble

Oh man.  I've downloaded it, and I'm not sure if I know how to use it.  I'm too new to Mac to really understand what's going on with the keychain.  I assume that you execute it (although, it doesn't have any tall tale signs that it executed) and it attempts to do what I'm wanting. However, it looks like I'm going to have to build it into a login script for each user.  I don't know how to run a Mac app from a login script yet.  Anyway, anymore info would be appreciated.

Thanks
Have you got a mac server with workgroup manager or is this only a few macs with one account for each user or what exactly ??

Yes, this is how I have it setup.  The script it being ran locally on each client though, not on the server level. Infact, I even use login items, but this error ocurs before any login items can run - this error ocurrs and the beginning of the user login.

I'm afraid I've tried all of what you suggested, and it doesn't seem to apply in my situation.  However, still good information.  Thanks.
