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. Programmers that implement custom
       clients in languages other than C or Perl may use this program to perform the password encryption if
       implementing the algorithm 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 management software. Please see the RefDB manual (see below)
       for further information 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.
