Here is what I worked out at one point. Though Id does need some refinement.
Tar & gzip the password file and encrypt using openssl des3 and a secret key. Replace the text "secretkey" with your secret password.
[root@unixfoo-lin23 ~]# tar cvzf - passwd_info.txt | openssl des3 -salt -k secretkey | dd of=encrypted_passwd_info
passwd_info.txt 20+1 records in 20+1 records out DecryptionWhile decrypting the file, use the steps below. Replace the text "secretkey" with your secret password which you provided during encryption.
[root@unixfoo-lin12 ~]# dd if=encrypted_passwd_info |openssl des3 -d -k secretkey |tar xvzf -
20+1 records in 20+1 records out passwd_info.txt As grievously noted gpg or gpg-zip might do what you need. On Thu, 15 Dec 2011 20:40:28 +0100, Fernando Jiménez Solano wrote:

Its intended for a password-list what I carry around on my laptop. Is there any simple tool to recommend? Should be no GUI like tkpasman. Thanks herb langhans
