Regarding "if you're stupid enough to specify an encryption password on a command line":
It's worse than that. I use Cygwin to process database dump into HTML files, which are, in some cases, then distributed in a zip file attached to an email. On occasions the email antivirus decides that the zip file contents contained a virus and deletes the zip file. I asked our help desk what I should do. They said that if I encrypt the zip file and put the password in the body the antivirus would not be able to see inside the zip file but the recipient would be able to unzip it. No need to look at the process database. I usually wait for packages to be moved out of "test" before installing them, but since I got this entire encryption mess started, I've downloaded the test version and will give it a try. I'm sorry for all the bother I put everyone through. As always, thanks to everyone for the great work. - Barry -----Original Message----- From: Charles Wilson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 26, 2004 8:53 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Avail for test: zip-2.3-6 + encryption code Persuant to http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2004-02/msg00318.html I've made a version of zip-2.3 with encryption code available for test. This adds the new options '-e' (encrypt) and '-P <password>' (if you're stupid enough to specify an encryption password on a command line, where it will show up in the process database...) -- Chuck -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
