One More Question..... 2

Is there a way in Linux to create unix-hashed encryption. Converting a file, or it's contents (ie:text) and encrypting it.

Try ftp://ftp.uu.net/pub/security/des/
get the cipher package and make that.
This is good for encrypting files:
Always backup your data.

ex:
encrypt
cipher < filename.txt > filename.ciph
decrypt
cipher -d <filename.ciph > filename.txt

This is fast and simple 16 bit encryption for the des standard.
Good enough for me.

The best known is probably GnuPG which in their own words is described thus : &quot;GnuPG is a complete and free replacement for PGP&quot;. The homepage is at -->
