Subject: [cobalt-users] Crypt Program on RaQ4?


Hi,

I want to crypt something before putting it on the disk but can't seem to
find any Crypt-Program installed on our RaQ4r ...
Did I miss something? Is there a .pkg with pgp or gnupg somewhere available?
-------------------------------

The crypt() function available in perl is the same that is used to encrypt
the passwords used in the /ect/password|/etc/shadow files. But it its
intended to be one-way. If you want to decrypt the content of the files,
you could use one of the other crypto modules available. Looking at
the CPAN modules might give you a hint of the various options available.
