Information for donkey-0.5: Comment: An alternative for S/KEY's key command Description: ---- From 00readme (slightly modified) ---- Donkey is an alternative for S/KEY's "key" command. The new feature that the original key doesn't have is print an entry for skeykeys as follows; kazu 0099 al02004 115d83956f1089b6 Apr 26,1995 22:13:27 This means that donkey is also an alternative for "keyinit". Since the entry is printed to stdout (not to /etc/skeykeys), you can easily send it to remote operator by e-mail (with PGP signature or something). So, it is possible to initiate S/KEY without logging in from the console of the host. The name "Donkey" is an acronym of "Don't Key". (1) Calculate a One-Time-Password. Execute Donkey with sequence and seed, then input your passphrase. The -f option allows you to choose hash function from MD2, MD4, and MD5. The default hash function is MD4 due to the historical reason. (2) Calculate multiple One-Time-Passwords at once. Use -n option. Note that although "Enter passphrase" is printed out to stderr, One-Time-Passwords go to stdout. So, you can redirect the output safely. (3) Print skeykeys entry. Use -i option without argments. Then, enter login name, sequence and seed. If you like default value, just type RET. Input your passphrase twice to get the entry.
