If you just want to encrypt the files with a password, openssl works well and can be found pretty well on any platform. [cage]% echo "this is a test" | openssl enc -aes-128-cbc -base64 -k pass U2FsdGVkX1+gkWRJo5W7PGBLpilZmlEx3+cKML+32to=3D [cage]% [cage]% [cage]% echo "U2FsdGVkX1+gkWRJo5W7PGBLpilZmlEx3+cKML+32to=3D" | openssl aes-128-cbc -d -base64 -k pass this is a test [cage]% But you really want to take a look at /usr/ports/security/gnupg. It seems all a bit confusing at first, but its a much better way to encrypt data and manage who has access to decode files without having to use a common passphrase. It as well will work across multiple platforms=20 ---Mike -------------------------------------------------------- Mike Tancsa, Sentex communications http://www.sentex.net Providing Internet Access since 1994 mike@sentex.net, (http://www.tancsa.com)
