>Description:
 The permissions on /etc/opiekeys are wrong: 0644 instead of 0600. It does not
make any sense to give the read permission without the write one, just due to
the design of OPIE: if one should read and authenticate using /etc/opiekeys,
then precisely that being thould write the new hash to that file. Thanks to
Peter Jeremy for giving me this argument!
 There were the same bug for S/Key a long time ago, but at that times FreeBSD
was maintaining 0600 permissions on the /etc/skeykeys file.
>How-To-Repeat:
 ls -l /etc/opiekeys
>Fix:
 First, chmod 0600 /etc/opiekeys. The fix the OPIE sources to create that file
with right permissions.
