An alternative approach would be to have some program which is constantly
running and which stores the passphrase in locked memory (which, if you're
in a protected enterprise environment, should provide very good security).
It would then only need to someone to type in the passphrase when the
system started up. As an example, I believe Netscape's/iPlanet's web server
does this with SSL keys.
