The timeout is not configured in PWSafe.
PwSafe close the file when it receives a signal from the tablet that is emitted when the tablet enter sleep-mode (I suppose when the screen is switched off)
(function hw_event_handler in callbacks.c in garage svn)

Is the Password Safe app compatible with anything for mac OS X (Tiger)?

I'm looking at getting 1password for the macbook, but I can't see an elegant way around getting it all set up on the mac, then spending the time visiting each site on the NIT, manually entering the long passwords and setting the NIT browser to remember the passwords. (Obviously, this is for things like messageboards but not sites like online banking, which I haven't yet done from the NIT anyway.)

What do others do to access passwords from both a Mac and your NIT?

1Password has a Palm application and allows you to export a Palm database. So...yah...you have to install the Palm Emulator, and you have to manually export the password database to update it on your tablet, but it works.

Alternatively, there are some online password-keepers, but I'm too paranoid to use them.

Interesting.

Yeah, I am not about to go for an online password-keeping solution, either!

Thanks!

I've been using KeePass back from my Windows days (switched to KeePassX on Mac) and afaik there's a java-app which is supposed to work everywhere and which I ran on Symbian. Have not tried it on the NIT yet tho.
You might want to look into it.

I just found pyring. It can read a palm database file (pdb) used by the palm program keyring. I was using keyring on my palm tx, so this works well so far. It can read and update the file. There is also a KeyringEditor.jar that can be run on windows (and I assume linux as well). I kept the file on my sd card on my palm and could put the sd card in a reader on my desktop to read and edit the files. Should be able to do the same with pyring and the n800.

I just started using it so we will see how it works out.

FYI

I just installed qoles amazing Easy Debian and found that you can easily install keepassx under Debian.
http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ad.php?t=24272

You can then easily just add a launch button to Personal Menu using the following command:
Code:
debbie /usr/bin/keepassx
Not very finger friendly, but quick and practical and works flawlessly with my Windows and OS X keepass databases.

It's great news, would be cool to have keepass properly ported tho. It has native builds for almost all desktop OSes, I'd think lots of multi-platform people are using it.

I use the java version on my linux box, just tested
http://sourceforge.net/project/platf...platform=13647

which is the mac version, and it seems to work ok with the pwsafe.dat file created on the N810.

(note the .dat - that means you have to open it as a v2.0 not a v3.0 which is the default on the dropdown, and you need to save it as .dat on the n810, explicitly typing the .dat in the save dialogue. Else the java version might not realise it is there.)
