What brokenness do you mean, exactly? There basically just the same idea
in OPIE, only OTP response format is changed which is enhancement and not
brokennes fix. Many other OPIE "features" either _lowers_ security and
should be never turned on (like LOCKING) or gains nothing for security,
just make interface inconvinient. Some other (not so useful, but who
knows) features like tty-level access is even removed in OPIE.
