  Description     : Create and store (random) passwords on a central server which can be retrieved by other applications.

Trocla provides you a simple way to create and store (random) passwords on a
central server, which can be retrieved by other applications. An example for
such an application is puppet and trocla can help you to not store any
plaintext or hashed passwords in your manifests by keeping these passwords only
on your puppetmaster.

Furthermore it provides you a simple cli that helps you to modify the password
storage from the cli.

In concert with its puppet module it provides a very elegant way to generate
random but from then on fixed passwords for use on possibly multiple puppet
clients on the fly and store them in a reasonably secure way on the server.

I hope that since trocla is available as a gem, packaging effort will be
minimal by using gem2deb. I can help in packaging and maintaining via the
Debian Ruby team if desired.
