BTW, Horst, http://passwordsafe.sourceforge.net/ is one of the most common
password managers,
to get back to the stated subject.
Ben, going back to my original post, I think passwordsafe was the one I
had in mind when I talked about my dislike of keeping history of what the
user does: a) in a dropdown, which is based on
b) .passwordsafe/preferences.properties in HOME
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ for org post: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* Ability to freely choose filename and extension of encrypted data, and
to navigate to those w/o leaving an obvious trace, e.g. I played with a
java based application that would memorize path/filename in a drop-down
menu the next time I ran it. It's convenient, but not good for a password
manager.

As far as I could tell I was unable to turn this off........Horst
ciao,
ben

I noticed a few binaries for Suse and Ubuntu, and the source code for
kernel 2.6.5 or better.
Why does an encryption program have a kernel version dependency? It
ought to need nothing more than open, close, read and write.
Looking at the build.sh in the tar ball
...&& error "TrueCrypt requires Linux kernel 2.6.5 or later" && exit 1
It looks like they build their own kernel module. They avoid standard IO
