Apple released its first update for Mac OS X 10.5 shortly after the new operating system hit users hard drives. Login & Keychain Update 1.0 addresses several issues including a problem with passwords for user accounts created with Mac OS x 10.1 that contain eight or more characters.

The update also corrects problems when connecting to some 802.11b or g wireless networks, and fixes issues when changing the password on FileVault-protected user accounts.

Login & Keychain Update 1.0 is free and available via Apple's Software Update application, or as a download from the Apple Support Web site.
