Password Protect console Version (Linux Version - Beta)

Important note:

this version has a new database format (read whatsnew.txt), before running it you
have to upgrade your database (if you have one), run upgrade to do this.


The 1st time you run the program it will try to create the database directory (~/.passprot)
in there it'll save the password in an encrypted file.

once this directory and file are created you can start adding accounts to the database.

if you already have a database then the 1st time you run the program type the password you used
for this database. if you type any other password the database won't be decrypted, or in the worst
case (you lost your datap.dat file) you will add entries to the database, but the rest of the entries
will be encrypted with a different password.

if you already have the GUI version of the program or the win32 version of it do the following:

run the application as shown below (example), the copy your data.dat (and datap.dat if you have it)
to ~/.passprot, overwriting if needed.


example:
run this the first time you run the program:

passprotc -p somepassword
where somepassword is your password.

to add accounts type:

passprotc -p somepassword -a name account password
where name is the name of whatever you are saving username and password for, for example yahoo mail
account is the username and password is, well, the password

type passprotc -? for help


This program was compiled using Kylix Open Edition (version 2)
