The program will ask you to enter a secret passphrase which is used by .Xr skey 1 to generate one-time passwords; enter a phrase of several words in response. After the S/Key database has been updated you can log in using either your regular password or using S/Key one-time passwords. .Pp .Nm requires you to type a secret passphrase, 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 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. To use a one-time password for initial authentication, the .Dq Fl a Li skey option can be used. The user will then be presented with the standard S/Key challenge and allowed to proceed if it is correct. .Pp .Nm prints a sequence number and a one-time password. This password can't be used to log in; one-time passwords should be generated using .Xr skey 1 first. The one-time password printed by .Nm can be used to verify if the right passphrase has been given to .Xr skey 1 . The one-time password with the corresponding sequence number printed by .Xr skey 1 should match the one printed by .Nm . .Pp The options are as follows: .Bl -tag -width Ds .It Fl a Ar auth-type Specify an authentication type such as .Dq krb5 , .Dq passwd , or .Dq skey . .It Fl C Converts from the old-style .Pa /etc/skeykeys database to a new-style database where user records are stored in the .Pa /etc/skey directory. If an entry already exists in the new-style database it will not be overwritten. .It Fl D Disables access to the S/Key database. Only the superuser may use the .Fl D option. .It Fl E Enables access to the S/Key database. Only the superuser may use the .Fl E option. .It Fl md4 | md5 | rmd160 | sha1 Selects the hash algorithm: MD4, MD5, RMD-160 (160-bit Ripe Message Digest), or SHA1 (NIST Secure Hash Algorithm Revision 1). .It Fl n Ar count Start the .Nm skey sequence at .Ar count (default is 100). .It Fl r Removes the user's S/Key entry. .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 option the system will assume you are directly connected over secure communications and prompt you for your secret passphrase. The .Fl s option also allows one to set the seed and count for complete control of the parameters. You can use .Ic 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 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 window. When the .Fl s option is specified, .Nm will try to authenticate the user via S/Key, instead of the default listed in .Pa /etc/login.conf . If a user has no entry in the S/Key database, an alternate authentication type must be specified via the .Fl a option. Please note that entering a password or passphrase in plain text defeats the purpose of using .Dq secure mode. .It Fl x Displays one-time passwords in hexadecimal instead of ASCII. .It Ar user The username to be changed/added. By default the current user is operated on. .El .Sh FILES .Bl -tag -width /etc/login.conf -compact .It Pa /etc/login.conf file containing authentication types .It Pa /etc/skey directory containing user entries for S/Key .El .Sh EXAMPLES .Bd -literal $ skeyinit Reminder - Only use this method if you are directly connected or have an encrypted channel.
