Not sure how advisable this is, but I'm using a gpg encrypted file, which I keep somewhere hidden (just because). Just put them in file foo and do 'gpg -e foo' (assuming you've already setup gpg). When you need to look something up just do 'gpg -d foo' and the file gets decrypted to stdout. I use it mostly for mutt (see the top of http://nixtricks.wordpress.com/2010/05/20/mutt-multiple-email-accounts-using-hooks/) but you can keep anything in there, obviously. Again, not sure how recommendable this is, but "it works for me"(tm) and its not like I'm keeping the password to root accounts or anything of the like in there... Cheers Zé --
