= Gpg Password Grep =

 * This is a small perl hack, nothing fancy..
. <<AttachList>>
 
== idea ==
 * have your passwords in gpg encrypted files. 
 * generation / maintainence is easy: use vim
  * http://www.vi-improved.org/wiki/index.php/VimGpg
  * or: TomK32 found https://github.com/jamessan/vim-gnupg - never tested it myself
 * extraction with the `pwgrep` utility - ends up in X selection buffer so you can apply it with middle mouse click

== example / usage ==

 * password files are located in $HOME/.p/ 
 * this is hardcoded (it's a small script.. easy to change)

 * assume: a hostgroup called 'foo' with 2 machines: 'alpha' and 'donkey'

 * sample password file `$HOME/.p/foo.gpg`
 . {{{
alpha root ptZPXbQrRI3kWesiJGZwzmx
alpha mysql root o4Sl3DuCRfmVzx7ywcGlI2k
alpha mysql app n956i87PPmAaBWBlEPD6TI7

donkey root IODtmQ9QEnDUAyqkRMJVwPn
donkey user UZQ7IWXUXnU5Ib5wcAFpB0r
}}}

 * password exctraction:
 . {{{
$  pwgrep foo alpha mysql
## gpg password stuff ommited - nice if you use gpg-agent or similar stuff (with timeouts of course..)
several results found:
 0: alpha mysql root
 1: alpha mysql app
select a result: 0
selected alpha mysql root
}}}
 * now the mysql root password of machine alpha is selected
