Mac OS X 10.3 or later comes with a command line interface /usr/bin/security for keychains. Did you try it? Or do you mean it was not sufficient with respect to functionality or security? A merit of the use of an external program is that we can use it regardless of several builds on the platform including TTY-only and X11. YAMAMOTO Mitsuharu mituharu@math.s.chiba-u.ac.jp
