NAME
     eenc - perform password encryption for RefDB clients

SYNOPSIS
     eenc [-p ABC-DE-FG-HI] password

DESCRIPTION
     RefDB(7) clients send passwords to refdbd(1) in an encrypted form. Program-
     mers  that  implement  custom clients in languages other than C or Perl may
     use this program to perform the password encryption if implementing the al-
     gorithm in the target language is too cumbersome. The  program  writes  the
     encoded  password	to stdout. As the encoding algorithm is symmetrical, you
     can use this utility to encode plain text passwords as well  as  to  decode
     encrypted passwords.

     The  algorithm  used by eenc is derived from the ENIGMA algorithm. Security
     is limited but should be sufficient for the purposes of a reference manage-
     ment software. Please see the RefDB manual (see below) for further informa-
     tion about the client-server protocol.

OPTIONS
     -p ABC-DE-FG-HI
	The slot and rotor position string sent back  by  refdbd(1)  during  the
	first  stage of the client-server protocol. ABC denotes which wheel goes
	into which slot, and the remaining digits encode the  positions  of  the
	wheels in slots 0 through 2.

     password
	The  plain-text  password  when encrypting, or the encoded password when
	decrypting.
