SKEYINFO(1)                OpenBSD Reference Manual                SKEYINFO(1)

NAME
     skeyinfo - obtain the next S/Key challenge for a user

SYNOPSIS
     skeyinfo [-a auth-type] [-v] [user]

DESCRIPTION
     skeyinfo prints out the next S/Key challenge for the specified user or
     for the current user if no user is specified.

     The options are as follows:

     -a auth-type   Specify an authentication type instead of the default
                    ``skey''. This can be used to get a challenge for a chal-
                    lenge/response authentication mechanism other than S/Key,
                    or if a remote S/Key server is in use.  Note that this
                    will cause an error if the selected type does not support
                    challenge/response style authentication.

     -v             Print the hash algorithm as well.

EXAMPLES
     % skey -n <number of passwords to print> `skeyinfo` | lpr

     This would print out a list of S/Key passwords for use over an untrusted
     network (perhaps for use at a conference).

SEE ALSO
     skey(1), skeyinit(1)

CAVEATS
     If the user does not have an entry in the S/Key database a fake challenge
     will be printed.
