Though the password program (passwd) you can get it up so that you will have to change your password to something new each time you logon. You can also set it with a min and max length, so that you have to change it have X amount of time, or you can not change it before X date. You mean something like that? Also there is ssh, secure shell, which is basically a telent session where everything is encrypted going to and from the "telentd" on the other side. This way people can't packet sniffer you password. Or If you are worry about people 'sholder surfing' you could setup a 'weenie' account that has no priveleages and has to change his passwd EVERYTIME after a succesfully login. "Dieter Müller" wrote:
Hello,
I already sent this message a few days ago, but I didn't saw it on the list, if I only missed it I have to say sorry in advance.
I need a one-time-password authentication system which allows me to log in via an untrusted terminal, p.ex via telnet from win-xy. The problem is that I can't disable telnet on my pc thince I still need it to log in from my secure network.
The very best would be a telnet-alike protocol which allows to choose between giving a normal or a one-time password.
