OPIEKEY(1)					  OPIEKEY(1)

NAME
       opiekey,	 otp-md4,  otp-md5  - Programs for computing
       responses to OTP challenges.

SYNOPSIS
       opiekey | otp-md4 | otp-md5 [-v] [-h] [-f] [-x]
       [-t type ] [-4|-5] [-a] [-n count  ]  sequence_number
       seed

DESCRIPTION
       opiekey	takes  the  optional  count of the number of
       responses to print along with  a	 (maximum)  sequence
       number  and seed as command line args. It prompts for
       the user's secret pass phrase and  produces  an	OPIE
       response	 as  six words. If compiled to do so, it can
       prompt for the user's secret  pass  phrase  twice  to
       help  reduce errors due to mistypes. The second pass‐
       word entry can be circumvented by  entering  only  an
       end of line.  opiekey is downward compatible with the
       key(1) program from the Bellcore S/Key Version 1 dis‐
       tribution and several of its variants.

OPTIONS
       -v     Display  the  version  number and compile-time
	      options, then exit.

       -h     Display a brief help message and exit.

       -4, -5 Selects  MD4  or	MD5,  respectively,  as	 the
	      response generation algorithm. The default for
	      otp-md4 is MD4 and the default for opie-md5 is
	      MD5.  The	 default for opiekey depends on com‐
	      pile-time configuration, but  should  be	MD5.
	      MD4 is compatible with the Bellcore S/Key Ver‐
	      sion 1 distribution.

       -f     Force opiekey to continue, even where it	nor‐
	      mally  shouldn't.	 This  is  currently used to
	      force opiekey to operate in even	from  termi‐
	      nals  it believes to be insecure.	 It can also
	      allow users  to  disclose	 their	secret	pass
	      phrases  to attackers.  Use of the -f flag may
	      be disabled by  compile-time  option  in	your
	      particular build of OPIE.

       -a     Allows  you  to input an arbitrary secret pass
	      phrase, instead of running checks against	 it.
	      Arbitrary currently does not include ' ' or '0
	      characters. This can  be	used  for  backwards
	      compatibility  with key generators that do not
	      check passwords.

       -n <count>
	      the number of one	 time  access  passwords  to
	      print.  The default is one.

       -x     Output the OTPs as hexadecimal numbers instead
	      of six words.

       -t <type>
	      Generate an extended response of the specified
	      type. Supported types are:

	      word	     six-word
	      hex	     hexadecimal
	      init	     hexadecimal re-initialization
	      init-word	     six-word re-initialization

	      The  re-initialization responses always gener‐
	      ate the simple active attack protection.

       EXAMPLE
	      wintermute$ opiekey -5 -n 5 495 wi01309
	      Using MD5 algorithm to compute response.
	      Reminder: Don't use  opiekey  from  telnet  or
	      dial-in sessions.
	      Enter secret pass phrase:
	      491: HOST VET FOWL SEEK IOWA YAP
	      492: JOB ARTS WERE FEAT TILE IBIS
	      493: TRUE BRED JOEL USER HALT EBEN
	      494: HOOD WED MOLT PAN FED RUBY
	      495: SUB YAW BILE GLEE OWE NOR
	      wintermute$

BUGS
       opiekey(1)  can	lull  a	 user into revealing his/her
       password when remotely logged in, thus defeating	 the
       purpose	of  OPIE.  This is especially a problem with
       xterm.  opiekey(1) implements simple checks to reduce
       the risk of a user making this mistake. Better checks
       are needed.
