27.Dt ENCRYPT 1
28.Os
29.Sh NAME
30.Nm encrypt
31.Nd encrypt passwords from the command line or standard input
32.Sh SYNOPSIS
33.Nm encrypt
34.Op Fl k
35.Op Fl b Ar rounds
36.Op Fl m
37.Op Fl s Ar salt
38.Op Fl p | Ar string
39.Nm makekey
40.Sh DESCRIPTION
41.Nm
42prints the encrypted form of
43.Ar string
44to the standard output.
45This is mostly useful for encrypting passwords from within scripts.
46.Pp
47The options are as follows:
48.Bl -tag -width Ds
49.It Fl k
50Run in
51.Nm makekey
52compatible mode; a single combined key and salt are read from standard
53input and the DES encrypted result is written to standard output without a
54terminating newline.
55.It Fl b Ar rounds
56Encrypt the string using Blowfish hashing with the specified
57.Ar rounds .
58.It Fl m
59Encrypt the string using MD5.
60.It Fl p
61Prompt for a single string with echo turned off.
62.It Fl s Ar salt
63Encrypt the string using DES, with the specified
64.Ar salt .
65.El
66.Pp
67If no
68.Ar string
69is specified,
70.Nm
71reads one string per line from standard input, encrypting each one
72with the chosen algorithm from above.
73In case that no specific algorithm was given as a command line option,
74the algorithm specified in the default class in
75.Pa /etc/login.conf
76will be used.
77.Pp
78For MD5 and Blowfish a new random salt is automatically generated for each
79password.
80.Pp
81Specifying the
82.Ar string
83on the command line should be discouraged; using the
84standard input is more secure.
