KEYINIT(1)

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

SYNOPSIS
keyinit [-r] [-u] [-n] [-s] [-f] [<user ID >]

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

OPTIONS
-r Set remote mode where the user is expected to have used a secure machine to generate the first one time password. Without the -r the system will assume you are direct connected over secure communications and prompt you for your secret password.

-u Set the internal s/key name that skey uses to authenticate you with.

-n Allows entry of the number of key generations you can use.

-s Sets -run flags for backwards compatability.

-f Force key generation even if the user specified (on the command line) does not exist. It also ONLY works if the user does not exist.

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