mcrypt has (old) crypt compatibility but if that isn't a requirement then the openssl
package can be made to do much the same thing very easily.
openssl des3 -salt -pass pass:X <plaintext >ciphertext
openssl des3 -d -pass pass:X <ciphertext >plaintext
You can choose a different cipher if you like - they're all better than the crippled
Enigma one that crypt used to use - although a passphrase better than a single "X"
character is probably a good idea.
