Subject: What is the OPIE dictionary?
The one-line description says the module uses the OPIE dictionary, but then doesn't say what the OPIE dictionary is, or where it came from. In the SEE ALSO section you could put a link to the source, and perhaps in the description say what the dictionary is. I did a quick search online, and found lots of definitions of opie as a slang term, but maybe OPIE is an acronym and I didn't find the right source online ... ?

OPIE is One-time Passwords In Everything. The RFC describing it is in the "See Also" section. You can also look for references to S/Key (the corresponding utility that generates/consumes the dictionary of words.) Hope this helps. Sorry for the delay in responding. BRIAND
