  Hah - you are right - i missed it somehow (dopyey me) .. they are in
the URI's ... if stored in keyring is fine too tho when passwords change
I have seen in the past the keyring not do well in forgetting the old
and remembering the new ... or something - then the prompt keeps coming
up and failing - and thena again prompt comes up and fails .. et al even
tho the credentials are correct.


  Thanks for help.
