How exactly can you use crypt to encrypt a file? I have no man page for 
crypt and crypt --help takes --help as the key or the string to encrypt! 
I search the web briefly and found 
http://www.rahul.net/cgi-bin/userbin/man?topic=crypt&section=1 and tried

$ crypt mypass < /etc/services > encrypted_file
$ crypt mypass < encrypted_file
