Is anybody familiar with the `crypt` command, or script. I have a file in *.enc format and the instructions I get with it are as follows: crypt < filename.enc > filename.tar.Z Any words of advice on what "crypt" is? The distributor of the .enc file seems to expect me to have this file on either Solaris or *** *** Linux. I don't want to buy *** *** Linux!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks, Steve

Yeah distro bashing is so cool especially when you can download most of them for free. Sigh. Why do I even bother, sometimes I really wonder. crypt is a one way hash function for passwords/etc. The only crypt on my Red Hat machines is the standard password hashing one (man 3 crypt). Any encryption scheme needs a KEY to decrypt the file. Darwin was right.
