bsdtalk127 - Why I like the CLI

Why I like the CLI:

• Uses minimal resources. Less space, less memory, fewer dependencies.
• Transparency. GUI hides internals, limits options.
• Similar between Unix-like systems. GUI tools seem to change every week.
• Remote management. SSH rocks.
• Everything is text. Configs, devices, output. CLI is natural complement.
• Pipes and scripts. One time is hard, a thousand times is easy.
• Only need a few tools. Grep, sed, awk, vi, cron.
• Text config files. Easy to version, share, and comment.
• Requires reading skills instead of clicking skills.
• Much faster when you know what you are doing.

bsdtalk117 - One Time Passwords

• Important when you don't trust the computer you are using, such as a library computer or internet kiosk.
• Available by default in Free/Net/Open BSD.
• FreeBSD uses OPIE, Net/Open use S/Key.
• One time passwords are based on your pass phrase, a non-repeating sequence number, and a seed.
• Initial setup should be done directly on the server.
• "skeyinit" for Net/Open, "opiepasswd -c" for FreeBSD.
• Enter a pass phrase that is not your regular account password.
• Find your current sequence number and seed with "opieinfo" or "skeyinfo", for example: "497 pc5246".
• Generate a list of the next 10 passwords and write them down, using "opiekey -n 10 497 pc5246" or "skey -n 10 497 pc5246".
• When you log in from a remote machine that might have a keystroke logger, you can now use a one time password instead of your regular password.
• For OpenBSD, log in as account:skey, for example "bob:skey", which will cause the system to present the s/key challenge.
• For NetBSD, the system will always present you with the s/key challenge if it is configured for your account, although you can still use your regular password.
• FreeBSD by default will force you to use a one time password if it is configured for your account.
• If you want both OPIE and password authentication, FreeBSD allows you to list trusted networks or hosts in /etc/opieaccess.
• Instead of carrying a list of passwords around, you can use s/key generators on a portable device that you trust, such as a palm pilot.
• For more info, check the man pages.
