I almost turned git user, for the first time. Drat. I do have a GitHub account, so I'm +1 on the l33tness scale, but I haven't used it yet The bug I found two weeks ago (when my life got really busy) is fixed now. So I'll wait until it's necessary.

The bug was in Loxodo, which I stumbled over when I was looking for a good, cross platform, tool to manage passwords. I was just using a gpg encrypted text file until now, for my own use... but there were just too many different things piling up. (Site logins, other network stuff, financial stuff, and... more and more login/site passwords of clients from different hosting/site-building companies.

It's handy (and requested by colleagues) to keep the passwords of one company's clients in one 'vault', and update and share that vault with the other sysadmin staff & company owner.

I've found only one data format for which clients exist for all kinds of platforms, and which is usable by both techs and non-techs: 'passwordsafe'.

I've now really looked up the different Linux clients (which are all ancient except for one), decided on which one to use, and entered 100+ description/URL/user/password combinations (by hand) in a 'password vault'. I think I'll be alternating between Loxodo (newer; actively maintained; has text interface) and Password Gorilla (ancient and not totally bug-free, but has treeview in graphical mode, which IMHO makes for much better overview when you're editing/inserting many passwords at once.)

I hope Debian will package Loxodo, because other people are looking for a good client too.
