hiya folks.

the version of OPIE in /usr/src/contrib/opie is version 2.31. version 2.32
was released well over a year ago. I'm told that to upgrade this (well,
to put the newer minor revision in place) i need some help from someone
with contrib access. any takers?

i have a pam opie lib built from the 2.31 tree and it works, but i'd like
to see the newer (again, over a year old) version put in place in case 
someone ever decides to make a pam module out of the newer release. i'm sure
using 2.31 isnt all that bad, and it works well for me.

i find it odd that s/key is supported so widely while OPIE seems ignored.
Bellcore gave up s/key and the naval research labs took it over. They had
to rename it so they decided on OPIE (one-time passwords in everything) and
implemented md5, which, if i'm not mistaken, was not in s/key at the time. i'm
not sure about s/key, did they ever implement md5?

OPIE is clearly newer and better. but i'm sure i'm reciting ancient and boring
history to most of you. the 2.31 version was released 3/20/1997. the 2.32
version was released 1/1/1998.

thanks for your time.

dave
