That's a bit weird. I just checked and vim -x works on my RHEL 5 box.
Also vim -h displays the -x option. Are you sure you are not using some
other version of vim compiled locally in your system outside the RHEL
distro and overriding your path? In my box:
# type vim
vim is hashed (/usr/bin/vim)
# ldd /usr/bin/vim
libtermcap.so.2 => /lib64/libtermcap.so.2 (0x00000033cde00000)
libselinux.so.1 => /lib64/libselinux.so.1 (0x00000033d0600000)
libacl.so.1 => /lib64/libacl.so.1 (0x00000033d4800000)
libgpm.so.1 => /usr/lib64/libgpm.so.1 (0x00000033cae00000)
libperl.so =>
/usr/lib64/perl5/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/CORE/libperl.so
(0x00000033cb200000)
libresolv.so.2 => /lib64/libresolv.so.2 (0x00000033d1e00000)
libutil.so.1 => /lib64/libutil.so.1 (0x00000033d8a00000)
libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00000033c9e00000)
libm.so.6 => /lib64/libm.so.6 (0x00000033ca200000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib64/libdl.so.2 (0x00000033ca600000)
libpthread.so.0 => /lib64/libpthread.so.0 (0x00000033caa00000)
libsepol.so.1 => /lib64/libsepol.so.1 (0x00000033d0200000)
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00000033c9a00000)
libattr.so.1 => /lib64/libattr.so.1 (0x00000033d3e00000)
libnsl.so.1 => /lib64/libnsl.so.1 (0x00000033d2200000)
libcrypt.so.1 => /lib64/libcrypt.so.1 (0x00000033dca00000)
Libcrypt is at the bottom. Can you check your vim path?

We are evaluating RHEL 5 and found this:
Under RHEL 3 and 4, one could do 'vi -x' to have the file password
protected and encrypted. Under RHEL 5, this appears to be no longer
true. So, what is used under RHEL 5 that replaces this functionality?
Btw the man page states that its still valid, but vim -h does not show
the -x flag.
Thanks in advance.
