drawterm, factotum, secstore and the auth commands
all had ther own implementation of readcons. we
want to have one common function for this to avoid
the duplication, so putting that in libauthsrv.
introduce PASSWDLEN which makes the use more explicit
than ANAMELEN.
this is in preparation for replacing DES ticket encryption with
something better. but first need to make the code stop making
assumptions.
the wire encoding of the Ticket might be variable length
with TICKETLEN just giving an upper bound. the details will be
handled by libauthsrv _asgetticket() and _asgetresp() funciotns.
the Authenticator and Passwordreq structures are encrypted
with the random ticket key. The encryption schmeme will depend
on the Ticket format used, so we pass the Ticket* structure
instead of the DES key.
introduce Authkey structure that will hold all the required
cryptographic keys instead of passing DES key.
some of us run auth servers from home that are used by multiple
servers on the internet. when the home authserver becomes unreachable,
services on the outside servers stop working. so we thought about
specifing a secondary auth servers for backup when the primary
server is not reachable.
this changes authdial() to consult multiple auth= entries in
the authdom= or dom= tuples, trying each one in order until
dial() succeeds.
