I just use gpg with a Makefile wrapper. "make view" and "make edit" 
are the targets:

----- %< -----
#
# for viewing/editing password database
#

FILEPLAIN = pwdb.txt
FILECRYPT = $(FILEPLAIN).gpg
GPG = gpg
GPGID = heinlein at madboa.com
RM = /bin/rm -i
VI = vim

all: help

help:
         @echo "targets:"
         @echo "  edit -- to edit the data file"
         @echo "  view -- to view the data file"

edit:
         @umask 0077; $(GPG) --output $(FILEPLAIN) --decrypt $(FILECRYPT)
         @$(VI) $(FILEPLAIN)
         @umask 0077; $(GPG) --encrypt --recipient $(GPGID) $(FILEPLAIN)
         @$(RM) $(FILEPLAIN)

view:
         @umask 0077; $(GPG) --decrypt $(FILECRYPT) | less
