Brett, on this note another tack you could take is to symmetrically encrypt your list with GPG/PGP, being wary of where you choose to decrypt it. This kind of thing, using gpg (where the path could be a removable device or floppy): opiekey -n 5 0499 xx9909 | sort -rn | ( sleep 10 ; gpg -ca -o /trusted/path ) ... adding your preferred --cipher-algo option as required, then as needed run: gpg -o - /trusted/path | grep #seq_no cheers, -- Joel Hatton -- Security Analyst | Hotline: +61 7 3365 4417 AusCERT - Australia's national CERT | Fax: +61 7 3365 7031 The University of Queensland | WWW: www.auscert.org.au Qld 4072 Australia | Email: auscert@auscert.org.au
