man opiekeys (Formats) - OPIE database of user key information
NAME
[/etc/]opiekeys - OPIE database of user key information
DESCRIPTION
The opiekeys file contains user information used by the OPIE software to authenticate users. The opiekeys file is backwards compatible with the S/Key /etc/skeykeys database file, but only if the hashing algorithm (MD4 and MD5) is the same between S/Key and OPIE (i.e., MD5 OPIE cannot use MD4 S/Key keys). The opiekeys file consists of six fields separated by spaces (tabs are properly interpreted, but spaces should be used instead) as follows:
Field Description name User's login name. sequence User's sequence number. seed User's seed. key User's last response (hex). date Last change date. time Last change time.
