DONKEY(1) DONKEY(1)
NAME
donkey - alternative for S/KEY's "key" command.
SYNOPSIS
donkey [options] sequence seed
donkey -i
key [option] sequence seed
key -i
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the donkey, and key commands. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution
because the original program does not have a manual page. Instead, it has documentation in /usr/share/doc/donkey
donkey is an alternative for S/KEY's "key" command. The new feature that the original key doesn't have is print an entry for skeykeys as
follows;

This means that donkey is also an alternative for "keyinit". Since the entry is printed to stdout (not to /etc/skeykeys), you can easily
sent it to remote operator by e-mail (with PGP signature or something). So, it possible to initiate S/KEY without login from the console of
the host.
OPTIONS
A summary of options are included below.
-n num specify number of keys to be calculated.
-f func choose hash function from MD2 , MD4 , and MD5
EXAMPLES
(1) Calculate an One-Time-Password.
Execute Donkey with sequence and seed, then input your passphrase.
% donkey 80 is12345
Enter passphrase : xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
SOFT O SAW SWAB CON RODE
You can choose hash function from MD2, MD4, and MD5.
% donkey 80 is12345
Enter passphrase : xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
SOFT O SAW SWAB CON RODE
%donkey -f md5 80 is12345
Enter passphrase : xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The default hash function is MD4 due to the historical reason.
(2) Calculate some One-Time-Passwords at once.
Use -n option.
% donkey -n 10 80 is12345
Enter passphrase : xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
71: WORE HELL CUB FAR DORA MALE
72: SAIL DAN DONE BEER DAYS MOS
73: PAN TONE THAT TOUT BURY EST
74: KEN ROAM HEAT NAN MEAN HEN
75: MINI MARS HASH BOTH SITU SING
76: TOW SHIN FLUE ARID AHOY NE
77: SLID LEEK NO TREE STOW BEY
78: RUDY WINE GIFT FUSS AGEE SUE
79: GELD THIN MAID THIN BUD TURF
80: SOFT O SAW SWAB CON RODE
Note that though "Enter passphrase" is printed out to stderr, One-Time-Passwords is to stdout. So, you can redirect the output safely.
(3) Print skeykeys entry.
Use -i option without argments. Then, enter login name, sequence and seed. If you like default value, just type RET. Input your passphrase
twice to get the entry.
% donkey -i
Enter login name [default kazu]:
Enter sequence 1 to 999 [default 99]:
Enter new seed [default ur18122]:
Please choose passphrase between 8 and 256 characters.
Enter passphrase : xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Re-enter passphrase : xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
