There's a Linux clone at http://www.semanticgap.com/myps/. I've been using it for several years. Unfortunately it is getting quite old, and does not seem to be being maintained. I rebuild it from source each time I change Linux version, but it's getting messier each time, as the older libraries it wants fade into obscurity.

PasswordGorilla is a linux version of PassSafe. And still in active development!

"is a linux version of" is a phrase that carries even less weight on this point than nearly any other time.

I suspect there are a fair number of people out there who haven't given much thought to *just how strong a basket* you want for your password safe...
