Should I report a bug ?
FWIW, (and assuming this is actually a limit of ssl and not the underlying filesystem on that partition) you can work around this problem by dropping the '-in', '-out' flags and using openssl in a pipeline: cat foo | openssl enc -aes256 -e -salt -pass file:filename.pwd > foo.openssl I do this regularly on my sid box without problems. (Curiously I didn't bother trying the -in/out flags.) -- Brad -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
