AGENT_OTPASSWD
NAME
agent_otp - One-time password agentSYNOPSIS
agent_otp [options]DESCRIPTION
The otpasswd agent serves as the backend for otpasswd utility. To enhance security in the version 0.7, the utility was split into agent, and its interface - the utility.In general user never directly interacts with the agent, although it should be noted that agent is executed each time user runs the utility.
That said, agent has a limited interface used solely for diagnostics. You can use it when you're logged as root or then agent is not a SUID binary.
OPTIONS
- --testcase
- Run set of internal testcases, which validates for example randomness of generated passcodes.
- --check-config
-
Diagnose any errors inside config file.
SECURITY NOTES
This executable is the only part of OTPasswd which might have SUID bit enabled. That said it's vital that this program was written and tested correctly.
