Is there a command line option for openssl to just verify a password for
a key?

I thought I could use a line in a script like:

echo Please enter password for key
read $passwd
if openssl verifypassword -in MyKeyFile.pem -password "$passwd"; then 
 echo Password OK
else
 echo wrong password
 exit
fi
...

I know there is no switch called "verifypassword", but I wonder if
there's an easier way of finding out if a password for a des3 encrypted
key is correct in a script than signing some fake-request.
