NAME
opiepasswd - Change or set a user's password for the OPIE
authentication system.
SYNOPSIS
opiepasswd [-v] [-h] [-c|-d] [-f]
[-n initial_sequence_number ] [-s seed ] [ user_name ]
DESCRIPTION
opiepasswd will initialize the system information to allow one to use
OPIE to login. opiepasswd is downward compatible with the keyinit(1)
program from the Bellcore S/Key Version 1 distribution.
OPTIONS
-v Display the version number and compile-time options, then
exit.
-h Display a brief help message and exit.
-c Set console mode where the user is expected to have
secure access to the system. In console mode, you will be
asked to input your password directly instead of having
to use an OPIE calculator. If you do not have secure
access to the system (i.e., you are not on the system's
console), you are volunteering your password to attackers
by using this mode.
-d Disable OTP logins to the specified account.
-f Force opiepasswd to continue, even where it normally
shouldn't. This is currently used to force opiepasswd to
operate in "console" mode even from terminals 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.
-n Manually specify the initial sequence number. The default
is 499.
-s Specify a non-random seed. The default is to generate a
"random" seed using the first two characters of the host
name and five pseudo-random digits.
EXAMPLE
Using opiepasswd from the console:
wintermute$ opiepasswd -c
Updating kebe:
Reminder - Only use this method from the console; NEVER from
remote. If you
are using telnet, xterm, or a dial-in, type ^C now or exit with
no password.
Then run opiepasswd without the -c parameter.
Using MD5 to compute responses.
