NAME
otp - manages one-time passwordsSYNOPSIS
otp [-dhlor ] [-f algorithm ] [-u user ] sequence-number seedDESCRIPTION
The otp program initializes and updates your current series of one-time passwords (OTPs).Use this to set a new series of one-time passwords. Only perform this on the console or over an encrypted link as you will have to supply your pass-phrase. The other two parameters are sequence-number and seed
Options are:
- -d
- To delete a one-time password.
- -f
- Choose a different algorithm from the default md5. Pick any of: md4, md5, and sha.
- -h
- For getting a help message.
- -l
- List the current table of one-time passwords.
- -o
- To open (unlock) the otp-entry for a user.
- -r
- To renew a one-time password series. This operation can be performed over an potentially eavesdropped link because you do not supply the pass-phrase. First you need to supply the current one-time password and then the new one corresponding to the supplied sequence-number and seed
- -u
- To choose a different user to set one-time passwords for. This only works when running otp as root.
