Michael,Andrew,Christopher and Corinna
Thanks very much for your response. 
I have openssl installed, but I would really appreciate, if you can tell me
how to use for my requirement.
My requirement is, I have a  simple text file which has some sensitive
information, and I want encrypt this file this file using some password and
similarly decrypt the file using the same password. The vi -x filename,
command will not work because these steps should be done in shell scripts.
Is it possible to do the same in openssl ?.
Thanks for your help.
Sanjay

If compatibility with Solaris crypt is not an issue, then I recommend to 
use OpenSSL - this comes with a command-line tool, appropriately called 
"openssl".  No porting required - just install the latest openssl package 
using setup.exe.
