[gnu.emacs] Encrypted file-mode

grunwald@foobar.colorado.edu (Dirk Grunwald) (11/30/89)

Our local UNIX site appears to give root access to everyone
and their mother. Faculty have performed experiments where a file
named 'test.troff' was left in an inaccessible directory related to
courses - you guess it, it was read by someone with root access.

Rather than fight an uphill administrative battle to deny root access
on my machine to others, I'm looking for a package to painlessly edit
encrypted files; hopefully, the package would not depend on having the
``encrypt'' command around because Ultrix 3.1 doesn't have that. But,
if it does, I can port encrypt from somewhere.

thanks in advance

There is an Elisp package that allows you to do this.

It can be obtained via anonymous ftp from tut.cis.ohio-state.edu
