                     18: .Nm S/key
                     19: is a procedure for using one time passwords to authenticate access to
                     20: computer systems. It uses 64 bits of information transformed by the
1.5       millert    21: MD4, MD5, or SHA1 algorithms. The user supplies the 64 bits in the form
1.8     ! millert    22: of 6 English words that are generated by a secure computer.  This
        !            23: implementation of
        !            24: .Nm s/key
        !            25: is RFC 1938 compliant.

                     28: .Nm skey
                     29: is invoked as
                     30: .Nm otp-method ,
                     31: .Nm skey
                     32: will use
                     33: .Ar method
                     34: as the hash function where
                     35: .Ar method
                     36: is currently one of md4, md5, or sha1.
                     37: .Pp
                     38: If you misspell your password while running
                     39: .Nm skey ,
                     40: you will get a list of passwords
                     41: that will not work, and no indication about the problem.
1.3       millert    42: .Pp
1.5       millert    43: Password sequence numbers count backward from 99.
                     44: You can enter the passwords using small letters, even though
                     45: .Nm skey
                     46: prints them capitalized.

                     51: .Ar count
                     52: one time passwords.  The default is to print one.
                     53: .It Fl p Ar password
                     54: Uses
                     55: .Ar password
                     56: as the secret password.  Use of this option is discouraged as
                     57: your secret password could be visible in a process listing.
1.4       millert    58: .It Fl x
                     59: causes output to be in hexidecimal instead of ASCII.
                     60: .It Fl md4
                     61: Selects MD4 as the hash algorithm.
                     62: .It Fl md5
                     63: Selects MD5 as the hash algorithm.
                     64: .It Fl sha1
1.5       millert    65: Selects SHA1 (NIST Secure Hash Algorithm Revision 1) as the hash algorithm.
