26: .Sh DESCRIPTION
1.16 aaron 27: .Nm
28: initializes the system so you can use S/Key one-time passwords to login.
29: The program will ask you to enter a secret pass phrase;
1.17 aaron 30: enter a phrase of several words in response.
31: After the S/Key database
1.7 millert 32: has been updated you can login using either your regular password
33: or using S/Key one-time passwords.
34: .Pp
1.16 aaron 35: .Nm
1.7 millert 36: requires you to type a secret password, so it should be used
1.16 aaron 37: only on a secure terminal.
38: For example, on the console of a
39: workstation or over an encrypted network session.
40: If you are using
41: .Nm
1.7 millert 42: while logged in over an untrusted network, follow the instructions
43: given below with the
44: .Fl s
45: option.
46: .Pp
47: Before initializing an S/Key entry, the user must authenticate
1.16 aaron 48: using either a standard password or an S/Key challenge.
49: When used over an untrusted network, a password of
1.7 millert 50: .Sq s/key
1.16 aaron 51: should be used.
52: The user will then be presented with the standard
1.7 millert 53: S/Key challenge and allowed to proceed if it is correct.
1.18 aaron 54: .Pp
55: The options are as follows:
1.19 aaron 56: .Bl -tag -width Ds
1.21 millert 57: .It Fl C
58: Converts from the old-style
59: .Pa /etc/skeykeys
60: database to a new-style database where user records are stored in the
61: .Pa /etc/skey
62: directory.
63: If an entry already exists in the new-style database it will not
64: be overwritten.
65: .It Fl D
66: Disables access to the S/Key database.
67: Only the superuser may use the
68: .Fl D
69: option.
70: .It Fl E
71: Enables access to the S/Key database.
72: Only the superuser may use the
73: .Fl E
74: option.
1.23 ! millert 75: .It Fl r
! 76: Removes the user's S/Key entry.
1.1 deraadt 77: .It Fl s
1.7 millert 78: Set secure mode where the user is expected to have used a secure
1.16 aaron 79: machine to generate the first one-time password.
80: Without the
1.7 millert 81: .Fl s
1.12 aaron 82: option the system will assume you are directly connected over secure
1.16 aaron 83: communications and prompt you for your secret password.
84: The
1.7 millert 85: .Fl s
86: option also allows one to set the seed and count for complete
1.16 aaron 87: control of the parameters.
88: You can use
89: .Ic skeyinit -s
1.7 millert 90: in combination with the
1.1 deraadt 91: .Nm skey
1.7 millert 92: command to set the seed and count if you do not like the defaults.
93: To do this run
1.16 aaron 94: .Nm
1.7 millert 95: in one window and put in your count and seed, then run
96: .Nm skey
1.13 aaron 97: in another window to generate the correct 6 English words for that
1.16 aaron 98: count and seed.
99: You can then "cut-and-paste" or type the words into the
100: .Nm
1.7 millert 101: window.
1.21 millert 102: .It Fl x
103: Displays pass phrase in hexadecimal instead of ASCII.
104: .It Fl a Ar auth-type
105: Specify an authentication type such as
106: .Dq krb4
107: or
108: .Dq krb5 .
1.9 millert 109: .It Fl n Ar count
110: Start the
111: .Nm skey
112: sequence at
113: .Ar count
114: (default is 100).
1.5 millert 115: .It Fl md4
116: Selects MD4 as the hash algorithm.
117: .It Fl md5
118: Selects MD5 as the hash algorithm.
119: .It Fl sha1
1.6 millert 120: Selects SHA (NIST Secure Hash Algorithm Revision 1) as the hash algorithm.
1.10 millert 121: .It Fl rmd160
122: Selects RMD-160 (160 bit Ripe Message Digest) as the hash algorithm.
1.1 deraadt 123: .It Ar user
