Yes, it would be in the history. If you're doing this interactively, it's much better to leave off the -pass pass:xyzzy arguments. Then openssl will prompt you for the passwords and you type them with no echo and with no record left behind (unless there's a keystroke logger on your system... ) See the openssl man page for all the options for passwords. I had assumed Fred wanted automatic backups. -- Bob Miller K<bob> kbobsoft software consulting http://kbobsoft.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ EUGLUG mailing list [email protected] http://www.euglug.org/mailman/listinfo/euglug
