How do I do a barber pole progress bar? 

I know that I should not use the "set cursor to busy" command in a Mac OS X app 
because that now signifies that the system is hung (thanks everyone for 
teaching me the proper way). I know instead I should use a progress bar. All 
well and good but ... I have an encryption process that is going to take some 
unknowable amount of time to complete and I know when it starts (0%) and when 
it ends (100%) but have no way to know how far along it is in between. What I 
think I want is a barber pole kind of progress bar that shows activity so that 
the user knows something is happening.

Any ideas on the proper way to show that something invisible is happening and 
the user should relax, the system has not hung?
