Cygwin ccrypt differs to linux ccrypt

Cygwin ccrypt differs to linux ccrypt

[Chris Mingay]

Hi all,

Up to date Cygwin running on Windows 2003 Server with ccrypt version
1.10 (up to date)

Up to date Ubuntu 12.04 with ccrypt version 1.9 (up to date, according
to apt-get)

I've encrypted a file using ccrypt in Cygwin and I am unable to
decrypt it on the linux box (Ubuntu 12.04). I am able to decrypt it on
my Windows 7 box which also runs cygwin.

I'm looking for confirmation as to whether this might be considered
normal behaviour? I understand if this is the case, but I am unable to
find written confirmation anywhere regarding it.

Thanks
-Chris

Hi Chris,
does the reverse works :
Crypting on Ubuntu and decrypting on Cygwin ?

the cygwin package is 99.99% a vanilla one.
I just adjusted the build system, but not touched at all the source.

Regards
Marco

Re: Cygwin ccrypt differs to linux ccrypt

[Chris Mingay]

Thanks for replying Marco, I wanted to post my own reply but didn't know how!

I feel like a bit of a moron now, it wasn't anything to do with
ccrypt/cygwin it was to do with file read and write permissions... so
needless to say, once I had sorted that, all was well.

I've not made a file permission stuff up in a long time, so hopefully
that's it for another year or two :D

Thanks again
-Chris
