Hi Everyone
I am wondering if many people are using software that acts as a password safe. And if so can you recommend any software in particular?
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@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
