Subject: Re: openssl ciphers - Success

Sorry about the bad form replying to myself, but
have found the answer I needed ...

The ruby code that works is:

  des = OpenSSL::Cipher::Cipher.new("DES-ECB")
  des.encrypt(nil, 0)
  des.key=key1
  res1 = des.update(magic)

The encrypt method hashes the password to generate
a key (not what I needed), and supplies an IV if the
2nd argument is nil (also not what I needed).

For a 2nd encryption, I do a des.reset
after the des.update.
