Hey y'all,

I've recently activated s/key on one of our machines.  Using the "key"
program to generate the word list works great on another FreeBSD box, but
the same "key" program compiled on a linux box generates a completely
different set of words.  It would appear that there's a difference from
FreeBSD's version of key (and libkey) compared to a functionally-identical
version found on the net which is dated 2 December 1991 from lanl.gov.

So, to make a long story short, how can I get a version of key that'll
work correctly on a Linux box?

Thanks, and sorry for the confusing message; it's been a long day. :)
-S
