Default RSA SecurID Tokens and ssh

Hello,

I have an RSA SecurID token and I'd like to set up authentication with ssh.
The problem is that RSA does not provide ACE/Server for Linux. Moreover all
howtos I've google'd out say that SecurID requires ACE Server.
Is there a sollution for using these tokens without ACE?
Or maybe someone has written a linux server yet?

Greetings,
Warden

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,

James
