Decrypt, Edit and Encrypt a File

[Samuel Bächler <linux@boeser.ch>]

Dear Everyone

I store logins and passwords of some dozen of Web-Services in
an encrypted file. I used to use kgpg to read and update this file.

Some weeks ago I found on debian-security [1] the following script:

#!/bin/sh
gpg keys.gpg > /dev/null
emacs keys
rm keys.gpg
gpg -r "user-ID" -e keys
rm keys

What do you guys think is this approach reasonably secure? I like
the script above because it is rather simple.

Inputs will be appreciated.

Cheers

Sämi
