Description: The OTPW package consists of the one-time-password generator
otpw-gen plus two
verification routines otpw_prepare() and otpw_verify() that can easily be added
to programs such as login or ftpd on POSIX systems. For platforms that support
the Pluggable Authentication Method (PAM) interface, a suitable wrapper is
included as well. Login software extended this way will allow reasonably secure
user authentication over insecure network lines. The user carries a password
list on paper. The scheme is designed to be robust against theft of the paper
list and race-for-the-last-letter attacks. Cryptographic hash values of the
one-time passwords are stored for verification in the user’s home directory.

Notes: 
This was requested for review previously by Luke Ross here
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=188014 but seems to have fallen by
the wayside.

I used the latest development snapshot dated 28-Mar-2004 from
http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/download/otpw-snapshot.tar.gz, it's listed in
the README as 1.4 but not officially released, not sure if this is ok ?

I also modified Makefile in accordance with the notes in BZ188014 and added the
GPL LICENSE file, please review this too.

This package will need a sponsor.

cheers
