pwsafe anyone?

I realise sometimes it's fun to write code just to explore a problem. Especially in the areas of security and encryption, however, I think it's especially valuable to look for standard utilities out there and see if they meet your needs. The chances are they've been scrutinized for vulns to a degree you're own script never will be.

With that in mind - how about pwsafe? Command line user/pw locker with master password that can save output to the X clipboard (for convenient pasting) and supports synchronising of multiple db files... It fits the way I work at least...
