NAME
keyinit - Change password or add user to S/Key authentication system.
SYNOPSIS
keyinit [-s] [<user ID >]
DESCRIPTION
keyinit
will initialize the system information to allow one to use S/Key to login.
OPTIONS
-s
Set secure mode where the user is expected to have used a secure
machine to generate the first one time password. Without the -s the
system will assume you are direct connected over secure communications
and prompt you for your secret password.
The -s option also allows one to set the seed and count for complete
control of the parameters. You can use keyinit -s in compination with
the
key
command to set the seed and count if you do not like the defaults.
To do this run keyinit in one window and put in your count and seed
then run key in another window to generate the correct 6 english words
for that count and seed. You can then
"cut" and "paste" them or copy them into the keyinit window.
<user ID>
the ID for the user to be changed/added (default is the current user)
