I've heard those 'AOL' users are pretty good at cracking codes.  ;-)

I recently read a review of "MyPasswordSafe" I recommended before,
and it got really good marks in all areas, including it's encryption
methods.  It's an open source Linux clone of a similar Windows based
package, and the password database can be moved between the two
packages.  It's also fairly small and simple to use.  It has some nice
features like buttons to copy passwords to memory so you can simply
paste them into forms.  So, I gave it a try and it's pretty slick.

Sorry I didn't elaborate on it before, but we were headed out the door
and my wife was yelling at me to hurry up.
