Hello,

I use unique passwords on all web sites.  We all know to do this, and we
all know to use passwords that are as obscure as we can stand.

I keep my passwords in a locker, which is a Linux Unified Key Setup
(luks) filesystem.  The filesystem image resides as a file in my home
directory, which I activate and mount whenever I need to get at a password.

To make a long story short:  I have a script to manage all this, which I
include below.  Folks who are interested in how luks works might find
this useful, as well as anyone wanting a password locker management script.

If you have suggestions or patches for this thing, I'm willing to figure
out how to get it on github.  Folks who want a tarball can find it here:

   http://ponzo.net/newshawk/pwlocker-0.9.tar.gz

Take a look at it.  I use it as a sysv init script (where it lives in
/etc/rc.d/init.d), but it will work fine as a stand along script, too.

Anyway, script is attached as a text file.

Share and enjoy. :)

 -Scott
