There is a program called crypt which comes with FreeBSD which provides basic single-rotor encryption, which is fine for casual use but can be decrypted via bigram/trigram analysis easily by someone who knows what they are doing. If you want strong encryption, look towards GnuPG from security/gnupg, or possibly towards OpenPGP or even the commercial variant. -- -Chuck ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
