SYNOPSIS
skeyinit |

[-k
passphrase]
[-n count]
[-p
password]
[-t hash]
[user] |
DESCRIPTION
skeyinit initializes the system so you can use S/Key one-time
passwords to login. The program will ask you to enter a secret pass phrase;
enter a phrase of several words in response. After the S/Key database has been
updated you can login using either your regular password or using S/Key
one-time passwords.
skeyinit requires you to type a secret password, so it should
be used only on a secure terminal.
The following options are available:
-
-
- -k
passphrase
- Use pass phrase passphrase instead of
asking for one to be entered.
-
-
- -n
count
- Start the
skey(1) sequence at
count (default is 100).
-
-
- -p
password
- Use password password instead of
asking for one to be entered.
-
-
- -s
- Allows the user to set the seed and count for complete
control of the parameters. To do this run skeyinit in
one window and put in your count and seed; then run
skey(1) in another window to
generate the correct 6 english words for that count and seed. You can then
“cut-and-paste” or type the words into the
skeyinit window.
-
-
- -t
hash
- Selects the hash algorithm to use. Available choices are
md4 (the default), md5, or sha1.
-
-
- -x
- Displays one-time password in hexadecimal instead of
ASCII.
-
-
- -z
- Allows the user to zero their S/Key entry.
-
-
- user
- The username to be changed/added. By default the current
user is operated on, only root may change other user's entries.
