How would you define/compute/detect "similarity"? A case mismatch? A character permutation? substitution? addition?

Do you have any algorithm in mind? Any attempts done so far?

NAME
pam_otpw - verify one-time passwords SYNOPSIS
pam_otpw [ arguments ] DESCRIPTION
OTPW is a one-time password authentication system. It compares entered passwords with hash values stored in the user's home directory in the file ~/.otpw. Once a password was entered correctly, its hash value in ~/.otpw will be overwritten with hyphens, which disables its use in future authentication. A lock file ~/.otpw.lock prevents that the same password challenge is issued on several concurrent authenti- cation sessions. This helps to prevent an eavesdropper from copying a one-time password as it is entered instantly into a second session, in the hope to get access by sending the final newline character faster than the user could. Both an authentication management and a session management function are offered by this module. The authentication function asks for and verifies one-time passwords. The session function prints a message after login that reminds the user of the remaining number of one-time passwords. ARGUMENTS
debug Turn on debugging via syslog(3). nolock Disable locking. This option tells the authentication function of pam_otpw.so to ignore any existing ~/.otpw.lock lock file and not to generate any. With this option, pam_otpw.so will never ask for several passwords simultaneously. AUTHOR
The OTPW package, which includes the otpw-gen progam, has been developed by Markus Kuhn. The most recent version is available from <http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/otpw.html>. SEE ALSO
