Title: vi and crypt
Post by: KMCh on September 23, 2010, 02:04:57 PM
I have some files which were encrypted using an old version
of vi -- vi -x myfile.enc

These files do not decrypt using the vi / vim package that I
just installed under Ubuntu Linux / netbook edition.

The files properly decrypt with crypt < myfile.enc > myfile

It appears that the newer version of vi uses a different
encryption algorithm than the old.  Is there a switch or a
different version of vi that will properly decrypt the files?
