CCAT(8)CCAT(8)NAMEccatSYNOPSISccat [ -3ms ] file [ ... ]
DESCRIPTIONccat prompts for a passphrase and decrypts (onto standard
output) the specified CFS encrypted files. If a corre-
sponding CFS IV file (.pvect_*) file exists in the same
directory, it is used to perturb the file accordingly. By
default, files are decrypted using standard 2-key hybrid
mode single-DES. The -3 option specifies 2-key hybrid
mode triple DES. The -m option specifies 1-key hybrid
mode MacGuffin, and -s specifies SAFER-SK128.
ccat is intended to assist in emergency access to CFS
directories when no machine running a CFS daemon is avail-
able. It is ordinarily used in conjunction with cname(8).
SEE ALSOcname(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 program will produce garbage output.
