I boot in init 3. Just after login, my profile script execute factotum, ask for the password, feed it from a local secstore, then launch rio or wmii. Factotum is part of my working environment. I use it with SSH, e-mails and drawterm to connect to my numerous Plan 9 machines. In overall, I use it to store all my passwords. However, the process to fetch passwords from web browser and some other applications is still manual. Similarly, when I start 9vx, factotum is executed and feed from the same secstore. It's exactly the same on all my Linux computers. My setup is quite similar to what Russ Cox described in this very well commented post: http://9fans.net/archive/2007/11/120 -- David du Colombier
