SecurID Auth for OpenSSH

Now this is a kewl idea! There is now a securid patch for openssh that supports RSA's SecurID tokens properly, including "New Pin" and "Next Pin" functionality.

This just rocks. Now if only the RSA Ace/Server and it's agents were not so expensive, more people could use this. I LOVE RSA's two factor authentication with SecurID. I think USB auth is just not feasible since most people don't HAVE access to their USB port that easily. I don't even mind buying new tokens every few years. What we need though is a nice open source Ace/Server so small businesses can actually afford to use it!

Anyways, if you happen to be a lucky person with an Ace/Server, now you can tie it to your SSH logins!

Greetings. Your web site came up as I was doing some research. I'd like you to take a look at our web site and let me know what you think. We're significantly less expensive than RSA for most deployments. We're also more extensible, easier to implement and maintain, etc., etc., nice people...
