[Duplicity-talk] Unsafe(?) use of environment variable for storage of cleartext passphrase

[Christian Joergensen]

Hello

I am a bit concerned of the use of environment variables for cleartext
storage of the passphrase. From what I see, it is just a matter of
finding the correct process and then using the ps argument 'e' to
retrieve the passphrase. 

Is there any other more secure way to tell duplicity my passphrase
without logging in to every server every night to run my backups
manually? :)

Thank you.
