i have that in ugly code that really needs cleaning. it seemed quite useful at the time. the client uses Kerberos to request passwords from the server. all the passwords are returned in an Tie::Encrypted::Hash (or maybe it's Tie::Hash::Encrypted ;) along with a key. that part is slightly mushed together with a (i beg forgiveness for the following...) Passport (cough) like part that will store the encrypted hash somewhere locally.

the end effect is roughly thus:

• if you have Kerberos, a valid ticket, and the server is working... you can get your passwords without having to type anything.
• otherwise, you'll be prompted for a key and thereafter you'll be asked for a password only the first time it's needed, it will live in the encrypted hash and saved on DESTROY. the next time around you just have to type your key.

it needs: error checking, logging, all the good stuff. but it did work quite well. the application was webified removing the need for the user to keep track of the passwords.

if there's any interest i can put it up somewhere after removing incriminating evidence.
