   !lazyweb: anyone know a way to encrypt !irssi passwords on disk, but can be read on start? using !gnupg possibly? !crypto

     I've been thinking about storing all passwords on a file, and unenc it at startx with a password prompt. Now, where would I put them? /tmp?

     I've got mine in a .gpg file (i.e. GnuPG'd) and open them in emacs which decrypts into a buffer and encrypt for saving with epa-file.

     "Where would I put them?" stands for "Where would I store/leave the decrypted passwords, without saving them in plain text?"

     Can other programs use them as well, other than emacs? For instance: mutt, mcabber, etcetera.

     I guess one could script that somehow. Actually my passwords for mutt are in gnome keyring along with a python script that fetches them :)
