Well, a little looking and I came across Universal Password Manager written in Java so it should work on any Jave supported platform.

Another is the Open Source KeePass.

Frankly I don't know how you would do that. You would need to find a password manager that existed on all three platforms. Not sure if one exists, but you can start by searching at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

Get a PDA and keep your passwords on the PDA. Carry the PDA with you everywhere.

The PDA could be a smart phone.

There are any number of password manager applications for PDAs and smart phones.

I know this is not the answer you wanted, but as far as I know there is no 3 platform password manager. There may be some like SplashID, Password Wallet, etc... that work on Macs and Windows, but I do not think they have Linux offerings, and most likely do not have DOS (unless you really mean Windows).

NOTE: SplashID and Password Wallet are aimed at PDAs and smart phones.
