Why not just encrypt a text file?

Posted by: Anonymous Coward on May 22, 2007 03:47 AM
I just tripple-DES encrypt my password file. I use the widely available openssl to encrypt and decrypt. With a VIM plugin this is transparent. This VIM plugin it makes a nice, simple password safe:

        <a href="http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1833" title="vim.org">http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1<nobr>8<wbr></nobr> 33</a vim.org>

OpenSSL supports other ciphers if you don't trust triple DES.
