[olug] PGP and vi

[Eli Criffield]

I've been using this script to keep a file full of passwords for a few
years now, its not perfect but it does what i want it to.

#!/bin/bash

umask 077
FILE=$@
PWD=`pwd`
TMPFILE=/dev/shm/.tmp.gpg.$$
ENCRYPTTO='gpgeli at criffield.net'


if ! [ -a $FILE ] ; then
	touch $FILE
elif ! gpg -o $TMPFILE $FILE ; then 
	echo
	echo GPG Failure Exiting\!
	echo
	exit 2
fi



vi $TMPFILE

shred -uzf $FILE

if ! gpg -o $FILE -r $ENCRYPTTO -e $TMPFILE ; then
	mv $TMPFILE $FILE.GPG_FAILED_UNENCRYPTED
	echo "******************************************************************"
	echo " 		UNECRYPTED DATA LEFT ON FS"
	echo "		$FILE.GPG_FAILED_UNENCRYPTED is still there"
	echo "******************************************************************"
	exit 1
fi	
	
shred -uzf $TMPFILE 
shred -uzf $TMPFILE.swp 2>/dev/null

--end script
