We use PGP and have found it to be fine for the purpose.

Hi All:

Looking for a utility that we can use enterprise-wide to 
self-service passwords.  Things like service accounts, Domain 
Registrar accounts, etc...  Right now we do the manual 
information to an envelope that gets stored in a safe.

I realize that storing this info on the network is usually a 
Bad Thing(tm), but if we can securely encrypt it, it makes it 
a lot easier for people to get the info in the time of need 
(without the gatekeeper having to drive into the office at 4am).

Looking for real-world stories, ideas, what didn't work, etc...
