Command name and codes

The new authentication type label is PGP. This type need to be assigned a number from the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA). The draft document in Appendix A does not specify any value.

The following sub-option commands are defined.

      CHALLENGE    0
      AUTH         1
      REJECT       2
      ACCEPT       3
      QUERYPUBKEY  4
      PUBKEY       5
These commands will only be used by the PGP authentication routines, hence the values do not have to be registered with the IANA.
