You do require a ACE/Server to use SecurID. The ACE/Server contains the
database of tokens, users and pin codes that authenticate you as a user.
ACE/Agents do little but provide the login prompts on the client
computers and communicate with the ACE/Server to provide authentication.

A PAM agent for Linux is available from RSA for Linux, see

However, the server component will only run on Windows, Solaris, HP-UX
and AIX.

HTH,
