I use 'pwsafe.' It's in the default repos for Ubuntu, though I'm not sure what other distros provide it. If your package management system of choice doesn't have it, you can always download it from <http://pwsafe.sourceforge.net>. It's completely CLI-based and cryptographically secure; plus, its databases are designed to be compatible with the Windows password program PasswordSafe (originally from CounterPane and endorsed by Bruce Schneier). It might even be compatible with Password Gorilla (which I just saw Carl mention). -- Brad Beyenhof http://augmentedfourth.com Silence will save me from being wrong (and foolish), but it will also deprive me of the possibility of being right. ~ Igor Stravinsky -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-lpsg
