AMCRYPT-OSSL(8) System Administration Commands AMCRYPT-OSSL(8)NAME
amcrypt-ossl - crypt program for Amanda symmetric data encryption using OpenSSL
SYNOPSIS
amcrypt-ossl [-d]
DESCRIPTION
amcrypt-ossl uses OpenSSL to encrypt and decrypt data. OpenSSL is available from www.openssl.org. OpenSSL offers a wide variety of cipher
choices ( amcrypt-ossl defaults to 256-bit AES) and can use hardware cryptographic accelerators on several platforms.
amcrypt-ossl will search for the OpenSSL program in the following directories:
/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/ssl/bin:/usr/local/ssl/bin.
PASSPHRASE MANAGEMENT
amcrypt-ossl uses the same pass phrase to encrypt and decrypt data. It is very important to store and protect the pass phrase properly.
Encrypted backup data can only be recovered with the correct passphrase.
OpenSSL's key derivation routines use a salt to guard against dictionary attacks on the pass phrase; still it is important to pick a pass
phrase that is hard to guess. The Diceware method (see www.diceware.com) can be used to create passphrases that are difficult to guess and
easy to remember.
FILES
/var/lib/amanda/.am_passphrase
File containing the pass phrase. It should not be readable by any user other than the Amanda user.

Hi,
I have been trying to upgrade my OpenSSL for a while now, tried looking for guides on the forums and found nothing.
I am trying to be able to use the "openssl version" command to be able to see the newer version

I'm trying to delete everything after (and including) a particular phrase. The phrase that needs to be removed is anything with the letters "KV." For example:
ATHENIA 230KV ATHENISP
BAYONNE 13KV COGEN1
would become:
ATHENIA
BAYONNE
I'm using the following, but i'm not having much luck.... (4 Replies)

Hi all...
As a mere amateur programmer it came to my attention recently of a phrase:-

After reading the wiki on it I think that I may have fallen into this category.

Hi,
My server is Centos 6 i686.
Is it possible get an openssl download from this site
"https://www.openssl.org/source/" (which is used for 64 bit platforms)
and use it on 32 bit platforms also?
Thx,
Aigini (5 Replies)
