Is there some clever way to encrypt a file with a password? A script maybe?

Also, is there some app that manage names, addresses and telephone no.s?

The only crypto that I can find that comes on the live CD is des.  It does work.

to encryrpt a file

des -E infile outfile

and to decrypt a file:

des -D infile outfile

it prompts for the password twice on encrypt and once on decrypt.
I don't know how secure des is overall but it's good enough for privacy purposes.

This is great. All I need now is an app to store names+addresses.
