Thanks a lot to everyone!
Just as a short description:
I installed easypg. In the console environment I type `emacs keys.pgp'.
This starts emacs and prompts for passphrase of `keys.pgp'. After entering
the passphrase you can edit your file with the passwords. When you are
finished with altering t

In case you are interested more in a feature-richer password organizer I
propose the excellent KeepassX (aptitude install keepassx).

Thanks for the inputs so far.
On Axels input I modified the script:
#!/bin/sh
gpg keys.gpg > /dev/null
emacs keys
rm keys.gpg
gpg -r "user-ID" -e keys
srm keys # *secure*rm keys
srm keys~# *secure*rm keys~
Drawback: During the time one works on the list `keys' it is readable
at `/path/to/keys'.

Dear Everyone
I store logins and passwords of some dozen of Web-Services in
an encrypted file. I used to use kgpg to read and update this file.
Some weeks ago I found on debian-security [1] the following script:
#!/bin/sh
gpg keys.gpg > /dev/null
emacs keys
rm keys.gpg
gpg -r "user-ID" -e keys

You seem to be asking specifically for symmetric encryption here (you
use the same key to encrypt and decrypt), as opposed to asymmetr
