Do you know if I still need to do this?
If you just want to encrypt a file, why not just use OpenSSL? I happen to have an encrypted swap and have /tmp as a tmpfs so it doesn't hit disk unless its encrypted. So, I put the plain-text in /tmp (I also have libpam-tmpdir so I have my own $TMP that no-one else can read), and use OpenSSL (man enc) to encrypte and decrypte it. Its too bad that OpenSSL doesn't have aes built-in. For a frequently-used file like a password list, you could have a script that automates the copying to /tmp, decrypting (prompting for passwd), etc. Doug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
