man crypt says,

 
NAME
     enigma, crypt -- very simple file encryption

SYNOPSIS
     enigma [-s] [-k] [password]
     crypt [-s] [-k] [password]

DESCRIPTION
     The enigma utility, also known as crypt is a very simple encrypti
+on pro-
     gram, working on a ``secret-key'' basis.  It operates as a filter
+, i.e.,
     it encrypts or decrypts a stream of data from standard input, and
+ writes
     the result to standard output.  Since its operation is fully symm
+etrical,
     feeding the encrypted data stream again through the engine (using
+ the
     same secret key) will decrypt it.

Which is strange, and goes against what I just stated about blowfish.

Also, if you're interested:

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
