SKEYINIT(1)		  BSD General Commands Manual		   SKEYINIT(1)

NAME
     skeyinit — change password or add user to S/Key authentication system

SYNOPSIS
     skeyinit [-sxz] [-k passphrase] [-n count] [-p password] [-t hash] [user]

DESCRIPTION
     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.

     skeyinit requires you to type a secret password, so it should be used
     only on a secure terminal.

OPTIONS
     -k passphrase
	     Use pass phrase passphrase instead of asking for one to be
	     entered.

     -n count
	     Start the skey(1) sequence at count (default is 100).

     -p password
	     Use password password instead of asking for one to be entered.

     -s	     allows the user to set the seed and count for complete control of
	     the parameters.  To do this run skeyinit in one window and put in
	     your count and seed; then run skey(1) in another window to gener‐
	     ate the correct 6 english words for that count and seed.  You can
	     then “cut-and-paste” or type the words into the skeyinit window.

     -t hash
	     Selects the hash algorithm to use.	 Available choices are md4
	     (the default), md5, or sha1.

     -x	     Displays one-time password in hexadecimal instead of ASCII.

     -z	     Allows the user to zero their S/Key entry.

     user    The username to be changed/added.	By default the current user is
	     operated on, only root may change other user's entries.

FILES
     /etc/skeykeys  database of information for the S/Key system.
