presumably this should actually be:
cat /mnt/factotum/ctl | tail -1 | sed 's/ !.*//;s/^/del/' | read -m >/mnt/factotum/ctl

for those with large numbers of keys?

i think you missed the tail -1.

To delete the most recently added key (likely the common
result of your loop):

cat /mnt/factotum/ctl | tail -1 | sed 's/ !.*//;s/^/del/' >/mnt/factotum/ctl

Another shell script for dealing with keys.  I got tired
of fixing factotum by hand when I type a bad password.
Attached is delkey.  It interactively scans factotum/ctl
and deletes keys that match the specified pattern. If no
pattern is given, it scans all keys.  With the -f (force)
flag, it deletes without asking first.

It's new and not thoroughly tested, so beware.
