Subject: Cache passwords
Date: Sun, 21 Dec 2003 11:18:37 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87vfoa5she.fsf@emptyhost.emptydomain.de> (raw)
I'm thinking about augmenting Tramp with a multi-connection mode.
What does this have to do with Gnus, you ask? Well, opening a
connection to a remote host often means that the user has to enter a
password (or five). I would like to make it convenient for the user
to open more connections, so I'd like to cache the password that the
user typed.
Is there something in Gnus or PGG or mailcrypt that could help me with
this? I guess I need some key (a string I guess) to store each
password under. And I need a way of retrieving the password later.
And some security of one kind of another would be nice, too.
Kai
