S/Key is a list of passwords generated based upon a seed password and an initial value otp-md5 128 fl6641 ext tells you that it wants password #128 off the list that was initialized with fl6641, in an md5 encrypted fashion. compare s/key to the TAN numbers used for electronic banking in parts of europe. it's *not* SecurID. -- martin; (greetings from the heart of the sun.) \____ echo mailto: !#^."<*>"|tr "<*> mailto:"; net@madduck click the start menu and select 'shut down.'
