Net Admins: Managing passwords

I thought I would throw a question out to you all regarding password management.  I am a network admin and have tons and tons of logins/password to routers, firewalls, servers ..etc and I currently keep them in a book in my office.  What would be a better way to store these types of passwords preferably electronically... it is to the point where I cannot manage them in my head and have to record them... but I want to do this securly.  Create an excel file and encrypt it?

Keep it on seperate media and lock it up?

requirements:

- Must be portable so I can get to it from remote locations.  Using disks or CD's squares me as they get lost.
- Must be secure.


Thoughts?

Oh, just forgot to mention:
I've seen some companies in the past, which offer web-based password safes. Just a thing of trust....

my favorite one: http://www.xs4all.nl/~wbsoft/linux/tkpasman.html ('cause using standard crypt algorithms with openssl)
