OATH Toolkit 2.6.5

[Simon Josefsson]

Hi!  This release fixes the long-standing issue of suppluing secrets on
the command line.  Thanks to everyone who worked on discussions and
patches related to this.

** oathtool: Support for reading KEY and OTP from standard input or filename.
KEY and OTP may now be given as '-' to mean stdin, or @FILE to read
from a particular file.  This is recommended on multi-user systems,
since secrets as command line parameters leak.  Based on a patch from
Ian Jackson <ijackson@chiark.greenend.org.uk>.  Fixes #6.

** pam_oath: Fix unlikely logic fail on out of memory conditions.
Patch from Matthias Gerstner.

** Doc fixes.

Happy hacking,
Simon

The OATH Toolkit makes it easy to build one-time password authentication
systems.  It contains shared libraries, command line tools and a PAM
module.  Supported technologies include the event-based HOTP algorithm
(RFC4226) and the time-based TOTP algorithm (RFC6238).  OATH stands for
Open AuTHentication, which is the organization that specify the
algorithms.  For managing secret key files, the Portable Symmetric Key
Container (PSKC) format described in RFC6030 is supported.

The components included in the package is:

  * liboath: A shared and static C library for OATH handling.

  * oathtool: A command line tool for generating and validating OTPs.

  * pam_oath: A PAM module for pluggable login authentication for OATH.

  * libpskc: A shared and static C library for PSKC handling.

  * pskctool: A command line tool for manipulating PSKC data.
