KEYINIT(1)                User Commands                KEYINIT(1)



NAME
     keyinit -  Change password or add user to S/Key  authentica-
     tion system.

SYNOPSIS
     keyinit [-s] [<user ID >]

DESCRIPTION
     _k_e_y_i_n_i_t will initialize the system information to allow  one
     to use S/Key to login.


OPTIONS
     -s Set secure mode where the user is expected to have used a
     secure  machine  to  generate  the  first one time password.
     Without the -s the system will assume you  are  direct  con-
     nected  over  secure  communications and prompt you for your
     secret password.  The -s option also allows one to  set  the
     seed  and count for complete control of the parameters.  You
     can use keyinit -s in compination with the  _k_e_y  command  to
     set  the seed and count if you do not like the defaults.  To
     do this run keyinit in one window and put in your count  and
     seed  then run key in another window to generate the correct
     6 english words for that count and seed. You can then  "cut"
     and "paste" them or copy them into the keyinit window.


     <user ID> the ID for the user to be  changed/added  (default
     is the current user)
