Bug 71015 – skey-1.1.5-r4 should install otp-METHOD as convenience links

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Ulrich Müller 2004-11-12 15:13:28 UTC]

The skey binary from vanilla skey-1.1.5 could be invoked as convenience link,
e.g. "otp-md5", which used the respective hash function. This way, one could
simply cut and paste the S/Key prompt, e.g. "otp-md5 98 xyz7654321", and
execute it as command line.

Unfortunately, this functionality has been removed in the Gentoo version.
The attached patch will enable it again. The ebuild should then hardlink skey
to otp-md4, otp-md5, and otp-sha1.

(Alternatively, one could implement otp-md5 etc. as shell scripts, calling
skey with the -t option.)
