    It's kind of bizzarre.  I grabbed the FC6 jpilot rpm source file, installed
    it, and ran rpmbuild on it.  It built the keyrong plugin -- on an FC2 (!) system.
    
    Nonetheless, the plugin is undeniably missing from the FC6 binary rpm.
    
    Given the amateurishness of Fedora packaging, I would guess this is a bug.
    They may have built their binary package on a system without the SSL
    development libraries, in which case I believe the build simply ignores
    the keyring plugin, without issuing errors.
    
    You can (1) open a bug at bugzilla, and (2) grab the source RPM and
    build it yourself (making sure you have all the required devel packages
    installed first, including openssl).
    
    Cheers,
    
    Carlo
