NAME

netkey − calculate response to authentication challenge

SYNOPSIS

netkey

DESCRIPTION

Netkey calculates a response to a challenge made by a system to authenticate a user, based on a shared secret (password), using the same algorithm as a SecureNet device.  It reads and writes /dev/cons.  It prompts once for the secret (echo is turned off).  It then repeatedly prompts for a remote system’s challenge, and once given it, calculates and prints the corresponding response.  It exits on an empty challenge or end of file.
