One thing: there’s not a single base64 binary that i can find binary or source available.
a quick advanced search on ubuntu packages shows a base64tool part of Package mkvtoolnix (2.0.0-1) [universe].

The use is a bit different, tough, since it does not read/write from/to stdin/stdout, so it is necessary to echo the password to a file, then specify its name on cmdline.

Anyway to obtain installation directions, just type
# base64tool
at yr ubuntu Feisty prompt

I tried this on an Ubuntu system, but there is not base64 command. Where does the base64 come from? I tried this on an Ubuntu system, but there is not base64 command.
