.Sh NAME
.Nm skeyinit
.Nd change password or add user to S/Key authentication system.
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm skeyinit
.Op Fl s
.Op Fl z
.Op Fl n Ar count
.Op Ar user
.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm 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.
.Pp
.Nm skeyinit
requires you to type a secret password, so it should be used
only on a secure terminal.  For example, on the console of a
workstation or over an encrypted network session.  If you are
using
.Nm skeyinit
while logged in over an untrusted network, follow the instructions
given below with the
.Fl s
option.
.Pp
Before initializing an S/Key entry, the user must authenticate
using either a standard password or an S/Key challenge.  When used
over an untrusted network, a password of
.Sq s/key
should be used.  The user will then be presented with the standard
S/Key challenge and allowed to proceed if it is correct.
.Sh OPTIONS
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Fl x
Displays pass phrase in hexidecimal instead of ASCII.
.It Fl s
Set secure mode where the user is expected to have used a secure
machine to generate the first one time password.  Without the
.Fl s
the system will assume you are direct connected over secure
communications and prompt you for your secret password.  The
.Fl s
option also allows one to set the seed and count for complete
control of the parameters.  You can use
.Dq skeyinit -s
in combination with the
.Nm skey
command to set the seed and count if you do not like the defaults.
To do this run
.Nm skeyinit
in one window and put in your count and seed, then run
.Nm skey
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
.Nm skeyinit
window.
.It Fl z
Allows the user to zero their S/Key entry.
.It Fl n Ar count
Start the
.Nm skey
sequence at
.Ar count
(default is 100).
.It Fl md4
Selects MD4 as the hash algorithm.
.It Fl md5
Selects MD5 as the hash algorithm.
.It Fl sha1
Selects SHA (NIST Secure Hash Algorithm Revision 1) as the hash algorithm.
.It Ar user
The username to be changed/added. By default the current user is
operated on.
