[chomp] Speaking of swap files, what about history files, meta data, etc.
bash, less, and vim seem to store some histories. if your bash settings are setup right, a space before any command doesn't get stored in the history, or the history file. There was a script kiddie tool I saw years ago that's a "smash and grab" for fetchmailrc, and what ever other easy passwords to fetch off the user account. So there are plenty of angles of exposure. I try to use a unique password for everything, but I can really only remember about 10-20 common ones. If one is exposed, everything I use is less vulurnable this way. Any additional thoughts on keeping these areas more secure too? Lonnie, was "passphrase" at arosnet based on an inhouse util, or something else? I might have a backup of it "somehwere" in my many terrabytes of wasteland heh heh.
