ccat(8)

NAME

ccat

SYNOPSIS

ccat [ -3ms ] file [ ... ]

DESCRIPTION

ccat prompts for a passphrase and decrypts (onto standard

output) the specified CFS encrypted files. If a corresponding

CFS IV file (.pvect_*) file exists in the same directory, it is

used to perturb the file accordingly. By default, files are de

crypted using standard 2-key hybrid mode single-DES. The -3 op

tion specifies 2-key hybrid mode triple DES. The -m option spec

ifies 1-key hybrid mode MacGuffin, and -s specifies SAFER-SK128.

ccat is intended to assist in emergency access to CFS di

rectories when no machine running a CFS daemon is available. It

is ordinarily used in conjunction with cname(8).

BUGS

Does not work with new format (1.3 and later) directories.

This program is just blindingly slow. There's no way to

tell if an incorrect passphrase was entered, except that the pro

gram will produce garbage output.
