 But are even the stuff to crypt() macros covered by that COCO-stuff. I know
crypt(1) is covered but crypt(2) is used by most systems for the pwd file.
Anyhow does anyone have a C-source to a program that can crupt ASC-II files
with reasonable security using a keyword or something like that. Is there any
encryption standard when one want to send E-mail?
