As websitespolicys call for tighter security and more complex passwords, a decent and secure place for storing all your account information is essential. There are many applications on the market, however not all of them are as feature rich as SPB Software’s wallet application.
The application was first released for windows mobile phones, an application which sync’s flawlessly with Windows desktop computers. This very rapidly made it’s way to one of my most used applications. Storing all sorts of logon credentials for PC’sServers and websites. Gradually building up to contain even more information, such as door lock codes, alarm codes and car VIN details.
When I moved over to my new phone (iPhone 3GS) i soon noticed just how much I missed the application. Luckily SPB Software have released a version for the iPhone. Which (like the windows version) boasts a large features list that power users will love.

Imagine my disappointed when I found out a Snow Leopard compatible version had not yet been released!!
However, I have managed to solve this little problem with the help of a blog post over at sysadmins-world.com
1. The Checkpoint installer refuses to install
The installer checks up for the Darwin Kernel version 9. In Snow Leopard we have version 10. So two files need to be edit within the installer package.
just right click on the installer and select Show Package Contents. This opens finder within the package.
go to Contents/Resources.
open TextEdit, use vi in a shell or whatever you prefer to edit a simple file
on file “InstallationCheck” change the number 9 in line 8 to number 10: if [ “$MAJOR” != “10” ]; then
same on file “postinstall “ change the number 9 in line 84 to number 10
That’s it. Just install it and reboot. Changes need to make afterwards in order to have it starting.
