S/Key would work great, but when generating several passwords it turns out they have to be used sequentially rather than at random. The sequential nature of S/Key passwords is kind of a problem, because I don't think I can rely on the people giving out the one-time passwords to properly ensure they're given out in sequence and they can't guarantee they will be used in sequence. The basic idea is to have say five accounts, each with a block of 10 one-time passwords. These could be given out on an as-needed basis to freelancers for access to an FTP site. Is there some scheme for doing this or am I SOL? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
