proj/gentoo: Initial commit
This commit represents a new era for Gentoo: Storing the gentoo-x86 tree in Git, as converted from CVS. This commit is the start of the NEW history. Any historical data is intended to be grafted onto this point. Creation process: 1. Take final CVS checkout snapshot 2. Remove ALL ChangeLog* files 3. Transform all Manifests to thin 4. Remove empty Manifests 5. Convert all stale $Header$/$Id$ CVS keywords to non-expanded Git $Id$ 5.1. Do not touch files with -kb/-ko keyword flags. Signed-off-by: Robin H. Johnson <robbat2@gentoo.org> X-Thanks: Alec Warner <antarus@gentoo.org> - did the GSoC 2006 migration tests X-Thanks: Robin H. Johnson <robbat2@gentoo.org> - infra guy, herding this project X-Thanks: Nguyen Thai Ngoc Duy <pclouds@gentoo.org> - Former Gentoo developer, wrote Git features for the migration X-Thanks: Brian Harring <ferringb@gentoo.org> - wrote much python to improve cvs2svn X-Thanks: Rich Freeman <rich0@gentoo.org> - validation scripts X-Thanks: Patrick Lauer <patrick@gentoo.org> - Gentoo dev, running new 2014 work in migration X-Thanks: Michał Górny <mgorny@gentoo.org> - scripts, QA, nagging X-Thanks: All of other Gentoo developers - many ideas and lots of paint on the bikeshed

+ From RFC2289:
+ One form of attack on networked computing systems is eavesdropping on
+ network connections to obtain authentication information such as the
+ login IDs and passwords of legitimate users. Once this information is
+ captured, it can be used at a later time to gain access to the system.
+ One-time password systems are designed to counter this type of attack,
+ called a "replay attack."
+
+ The authentication system described in this document uses a secret
+ pass-phrase to generate a sequence of one-time (single use) passwords.
+ With this system, the user's secret pass-phrase never needs to cross the
+ network at any time such as during authentication or during pass-phrase
+ changes. Thus, it is not vulnerable to replay attacks. Added security
+ is provided by the property that no secret information need be stored on
+ any system, including the server being protected.
+
+ The OTP system protects against external passive attacks against the
+ authentication subsystem. It does not prevent a network eavesdropper from
+ gaining access to private information and does not provide protection
+ against either "social engineering" or active attacks.
