Exporting Secure Notes (Keychain)

[Adam Bridge]

If on the originl machine you make a new keychain and copy the notes
into it, you can then copy that keychain to the new machine.

The keychain will live in ~/Library/Keychains when you create it.

I agree that synching a subset of keychains would be nice.

For some crazy reason when I try to sync keychains between machines
I'm asked about a computer that hasn't existed for years and which
doesn't appear anywhere. Since that machine existed I have completely
done over my .Mac syching but it hasn't done any good. Since I can't
give the password for the computer the sync just hangs up asking for
it forever.

ARGH
