Specifying the Location for the OTP Databases
One-time password authentication (OTP) is introduced in “One-time
Password Authentication on the OnBoard” on page 10. On the Onboard, OTP
expects its user databases to reside in /mnt/opie/etc/. The OnBoard’s
resident flash memory does not provide a directory for the OTP databases.
Onboard administrator must mount a device on /mnt/opie. The following
devices may be used:
• A compact flash PCMCIA card
To configure a compact flash card for OTP, the root user needs to log into
the OnBoard’s console and run the /bin/do_create_cf_ext2
script on the command line. The script does the following:
• Creates a partition on the compact flash (sfdisk /dev/hdc)
• Creates an ext-2 filesystem on the compact flash (mke2fs /dev/
hdc1)
• Mounts the compact flash on the /mnt/opie directory (mount -t
ext2 /dev/hdc1 /mnt/opie/)
• Creates the directory /mnt/opie/etc
