Automated processes

[John M Church]

I think it's simplistic to just brush-off this request as a user who 
wants convenience.  There are very valid reasons for automated 
decryption.  I'm working a similar project (and have my own issue - see 
"Automated Decryption via Script Running Setuid" written 4/5/06).  Seems 
to me if you protect your script and you are behind a firewall you're 
not 'trading security for convenience'.  You can even encrypt the 
passphrase in your script if you're afraid someone with sudo or root 
priveldges could open your script.
