I just use gpg with a Makefile wrapper. make view and make edit 
are the targets:


- % -
#
# for viewing/editing password database
#

FILEPLAIN = pwdb.txt
FILECRYPT = $(FILEPLAIN).gpg
GPG = gpg
GPGID = [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RM = /bin/rm -i
VI = vim

all: help

help:
@echo targets:
@echo   edit -- to edit the data file
@echo   view -- to view the data file

edit:
@umask 0077; $(GPG) --output $(FILEPLAIN) --decrypt $(FILECRYPT)
@$(VI) $(FILEPLAIN)
@umask 0077; $(GPG) --encrypt --recipient $(GPGID) $(FILEPLAIN)
@$(RM) $(FILEPLAIN)

view:
@umask 0077; $(GPG) --decrypt $(FILECRYPT) | less

[CentOS] OT -Recommendations relating to a Password Safe

[Clint Dilks]

Hi Everyone

I am wondering if many people are using software that acts as a password 
safe.  And if so can you recommend any software in particular?


I know many people will disagree with this idea, and I myself have 
always followed the printed list stored in a secure location.  But in 
our particular situation keeping this single list current and correct 
while ensuring that regular password changes happen is turning into a 
nightmare.


Any suggestions welcome, have a nice day :)

Check out PasswordSafe and KeePass.  They are both very good.
