Description of problem: I'm testing smtp auth login using the command line. One step is to encode the username and password with "/bin/echo -ne myusername | openssl enc -base64". The opposite step would be "/bin/echo -ne bXl1c2VybmFtZQ== | openssl enc -d -base64", but this fails, until the -ne is removed.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openssl-1.0.0c-1.fc14.i686.rpm (Fedora 14 openssl package) How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. /bin/echo -ne bXl1c2VybmFtZQ== | openssl enc -d -base64 2. 3. Actual results: No output Expected results: The string 'myusername' should be printed, with no newline. Additional info: I got the recipe from http://goodingredients.org/recipe/articles/email3/smtp-testing.rst Side note: the built-in echo in tcsh doesn't recognize the '-ne', and sends it to stdout. That caused some frustration until I tried decoding it and the base64 spelled out "-ne myusername". For testing, use /bin/echo or bash's echo, not tcsh echo. ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org Development Mailing List openssl-dev@openssl.org Automated List Manager majord...@openssl.org
