Lines: 29 Message-ID: <4j950o$rpt@opal.southwind.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: jade.southwind.net X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] I've run into a rather odd problem with skey under 2.1. I've set up a class 'root' so that su will result in a skey prompt. I put a regular account in class root, do the skeyinit stuff, su to the account and everything works as expected. I put root in class root, do the skeyinit and su, but get a bogus skey prompt. In the first case I get S/Key MD5 199 on3434 S/Key Password: In the second case I get S/Key MD5 63 6aeb2ae4527e50de S/Key Password: In the above test, both /etc/skeykeys entries are the same. Also note that what looks to be an encrypted string in the second example is not the string that is listed in /etc/skeykeys. I don't know where the 63 or garbage string are is coming from. Any ideas? -- Jeff Stehman Senior Systems Administrator stehman@southwind.net SouthWind Internet Access, Inc. voice: (316)263-7963 Wichita, KS URL for Wichita Area Chamber of Commerce: http://www.southwind.net/ict/
