[NCLUG] Ubuntu 8.04 - file encryption

[Onyx]

Oh, and by the way, ccrypt was designed as a replacement for crypt.  You
should be able to decrypt anything crypt encrypted with ccrypt...if that
makes sense.  =)

Regarding your second point, I believe it's as simple as:

sudo apt-get install ccrypt

If you prefer to refer 'ccrypt' as 'crypt' at the command-line, just make an
alias.

I hope that answers your question.

1. GUI mode
    - select a file, right click
    - resulting menu includes   Encrypt..
    - select   Encrypt.. ;fill in resulting menu and file gets encrypted
   CLI mode
    - what is the equivalent command to  encrypt  a file?

2. crypt  command
    - Ubuntu basic installation does not include the  crypt  command
    - can/does Ubuntu support the  crypt  command?
      * if yes, how do I get, install  crypt?
