/etc/opiekeys - OPIE database of user key information
DESCRIPTION
The
opiekeys
file contains user information used by the OPIE software to authenticate
users. The
opiekeys
file is backwards compatible with the S/Key
/etc/skeykeys
database file, but only if the hashing algorithm (MD4 and MD5) is the same
between S/Key and OPIE (i.e., MD5 OPIE cannot use MD4 S/Key keys). The
opiekeys
file consists of six fields separated by spaces (tabs are properly
interpreted, but spaces should be used instead) as follows:
Field Description
name User's login name.
sequence User's sequence number.
seed User's seed.
key User's last response (hex).
date Last change date.
time Last change time.
Bellcore's S/Key was written by Phil Karn, Neil M. Haller, and John S. Walden
of Bellcore. OPIE was created at NRL by Randall Atkinson, Dan McDonald, and
Craig Metz.
S/Key is a trademark of Bell Communications Research (Bellcore).
