Mh, even though this might not be constructive, here: Should we obscure
the password by use of any encryption (ROT-13?!).
The sugestion of using some encrypted block device that is kept in an
image file still has some attraction to me - but again would need a key
to access the data. Taking something like`md5sum /proc/cpuinfo` or the
like would provide an individual, but locally reproducable key - but
then also mean further obscurification... ;)
