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, .Ic skeyinit -a skey 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 Before an S/Key entry can be initialised, the user must authenticate themselves to the system. This option allows the authentication type to be specified, 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 Secure mode. The user is expected to have already 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. .Pp 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 (see above). Please note that entering a password or passphrase in plain text defeats the purpose of using .Dq secure mode. .Pp 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 .Ic skeyinit -s in one window and put in your count and seed, then run .Xr skey 1 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. .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.
