Yes. But the exact implementation will vary from HP-UX for sure. In other words, your encrypted files coming over from HP-UX won't be decryptable, necessarily.

There is a standard POSIX call, crypt() in unistd.h. But I would never bet the rent money on being able to unencrypt something from another OS. HP-UX and Linux both support it.

dircproxy-crypt

dircproxy-crypt(1)					      General Commands Manual						dircproxy-crypt(1)

NAME

       dircproxy-crypt - Generate encrypted password for dircproxy

SYNOPSIS

       dircproxy-crypt [-hv] [password]...

DESCRIPTION

       dircproxy-crypt generates encrypted passwords for the dircproxy(1) configuration file.  These passwords are used in the 'password' configu-
       ration option of a connection class, and are compared to the password you configure your IRC client to use.

       If you do not supply any plain text passwords to encrypt on the command line then dircproxy-crypt, when run, will ask you for one on  stan-
       dard  input.   It  will display the encrypted version of each password, created using your system's crypt(3) function and a random salt, on
       standard output.

OPTIONS

       -h     Displays a brief help message detailing the command-line arguments, then exits.

       -v     Displays the dircproxy version number that this version of dircproxy-crypt comes with, then exits.

SEE ALSO

       dircproxy(1) crypt(3)
