I'm using it all the time, with systems ranging from FreeBSD 2.0.5 to
-current.  Even generated keys with it for authentication on other
S/Key servers like Sun's Solstice Firewall-1.  Works flawlessly, so
i'd assume a pilot error.

Remember, the key(1) program cannot verify your secret password, it is
only translating it into the S/Key password.
