Linux and One Tme Passwords
Posted on November 14th, 2006 by ptiggerdine
After doing a security audit at work we decided to look at better ssh security other than passwords. DSA keys work but if you lose the key it’s painful. One Time Passwords appeared to the best solution. Having recalled that somewhere I tried to use opie/skey on linux eons ago, I though this could be a really good idea.
However looking for the rpms and/or source that’s recent and updated regularly seemed painful. Certainly isn’t going to work w/o heavy editing with gcc-4*.
Maybe there’s some way of using password and dsa keys together for better security or another solution..
