Thanks for your reply.
Unfortunately, I can't use what you are suggesting. I am more or less looking for something 'simple' actually.
So there are several servers that I ssh to, I can copy the rsa keys to several hosts and then ssh with no password. So that's all well and good.
But there are also a Windows login, AWS login, database password login, my bank account login, just kidding, and several other 'clients' / customer that I support that I unfortunately cannot copy the rsa keys too.
So what am thinking is for each client, I create a text file with the login and password information and then I run the following
The first one is obviously an encrypt after which I delete the plain text file, and when I need to access the password information, I run the second command which is a decrypt and then copy and paste the output from the decrypt. xclip or any UNIX clip command are not available.
So it is kinda like a shell script for maintaining a text file that I encrypt and delete the text file and decrypt the encrypted file if/when I need to access the password information.
The other 'easier' option/alternative that I am hoping to have maybe is if I have the password text file as below:
Code:
mickey mouse
donald duck
bugs bunny
Then if I can encrypt and masked it like below:
Code:
mickey ******
donald ******
bugs ******
And then run an unmasked/decrypt that will toggle the ****** to show/hide the password.
At the moment, I can manage with using openssl to encrypt/decrypt. Just need some kind of menu/script to manage it maybe
I know there are other password management scripts/tools around for Linux/Unix, but unfortunately, as I am not the SysAdmin and the client possibly not approving to install such utility in the server, am left with only 'writing' my own shell script option with using one text file for each username/password Obviously, I still need to remember the one 'master' password that I used for doing the openssl -enc

su
su(1) General Commands Manual su(1)Name
su - substitute a user ID
Syntax
su [username]
su - [username]
su -f [username]
Description
The command requests the password of the specified username. If the correct password is given, changes to that username without changing
the current directory. The user environment is unchanged except for HOME and SHELL which are taken from the password file entry for user-
name. The shell that is run is also taken from the password file entry for username. The new user ID stays in force until the shell
exits.
If no username is specified, `root' is assumed. To remind the superuser of his responsibilities, the shell substitutes `#' for its usual
prompt.
Options-f Prevents from executing the .cshrc file, making start up faster.
- Simulates a full login.
Diagnostics
Sorry

The specified username was not found in the passwd database.
No directory
The home directory for the username is not accessible at this time (only with ``-'' argument).
No shell
The shell specified in the passwd database entry for username could not be executed.
