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;
kazu 0099 al02004 115d83956f1089b6 Apr 26,1995 22:13:27
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.
-n num specify the number of keys to be calculated.
-f func choose a hash function - one of MD2 , 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 erorr 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 argments. 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
