Running the WEP
wfkseed
Command
The
wfkseed
command creates the seed that enables you to generate random
numbers. You run this command twice to create seeds, once for the NPK key file
and once for the LTSS key file.
To create the LTSS seed:
1.
At the C shell prompt, enter:
wfkseed
WEP asks:
Do you wish to create the LTSS or NPK Key File? [LTSS]:
2.
Press Return to create the LTSS key file.
WEP displays this message:
To initialize the seed for the cryptographic random number
generator, please now enter a series of characters which you
would consider to be 'random.' As you enter them, dots '.' will
be displayed to indicate progress. If your string is not
'random' enough, questions '?' will be displayed. In that case,
modify the pattern you are entering. When enough data is input,
you will be prompted to stop (near 3 lines of input)...
3.
Type a series of random characters.
The screen displays a dot for each 5 keystrokes that WEP accepts.
.
... .... .... .... ....
.... .... .... .... ....
.... .... .... ..
If your keystrokes are not random enough, the screen displays ???
After you enter a sufficient number of random keystrokes, WEP displays a
completion message, and returns you to the prompt.
All done, thank you!
4.
Enter the
wfkseed
command again to generate the NPK key file.
WEP asks
Do you wish to create the LTSS or NPK Key File? [LTSS]:
5.
Type npk
and press Return
.
6.
Repeat Step 3 to generate the NPK key file.
