DONKEY(1) DONKEY(1)

NAME

donkey - alternative for S/KEY's "key" command.

SYNOPSIS

donkey [options] sequence seed
donkey -i

key [option] sequence seed
key -i

DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the donkey, and key commands. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. Instead, it has documentation in /usr/share/doc/donkey

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;

This means that donkey is also an alternative for
    "keyinit". Since the entry is printed to stdout (not to
    /etc/skeykeys), you can easily sent it to a remote operator by e-mail (with
    a PGP signature or something). So it is possible to initiate S/KEY without
    loginging onto the console of the host.








OPTIONS


A summary of options is included below.



  

  
num specify the number of keys to be calculated.

  

  
func choose a hash function - one of MD4 or MD5
    

  








EXAMPLES




(1) Calculate an One-Time-Password.


Execute Donkey with a sequence number and a seed, then input your
    passphrase.






% donkey 80 is12345
Enter passphrase : xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
SOFT O SAW SWAB CON RODE






You can choose the hash function.






% donkey 80 is12345
Enter passphrase : xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
SOFT O SAW SWAB CON RODE
%donkey -f md5 80 is12345
Enter passphrase : xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
LACK WIN ROSE ANNA STUN REEK






The default hash function is MD4 due to historical reasons.








(2) Calculate several One-Time-Passwords at once.


Use the -n option.






% donkey -n 10 80 is12345
Enter passphrase : xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
71: WORE HELL CUB FAR DORA MALE  
72: SAIL DAN DONE BEER DAYS MOS  
73: PAN TONE THAT TOUT BURY EST  
74: KEN ROAM HEAT NAN MEAN HEN   
75: MINI MARS HASH BOTH SITU SING
76: TOW SHIN FLUE ARID AHOY NE   
77: SLID LEEK NO TREE STOW BEY   
78: RUDY WINE GIFT FUSS AGEE SUE 
79: GELD THIN MAID THIN BUD TURF 
80: SOFT O SAW SWAB CON RODE     






Note that though "Enter passphrase" is printed out to
    the standard error stream, the One-Time-Passwords are written to the
    standard output stream, so you can redirect the output safely.








(3) Print an skeykeys entry.


Use the -i option without arguments. Then, enter the login name,
    the sequence number and the seed. Input your passphrase twice to get the
    entry.






% donkey -i
Enter login name [default kazu]: 
Enter sequence 1 to 999 [default 99]: 
Enter new seed [default ur18122]: 
Please choose passphrase between 8 and 256 characters.
Enter passphrase : xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Re-enter passphrase : xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
