Re: [pptp-devel] Using RSA SecurID (EAP) with pptp

[Nestor U. <nes...@gm...>]

Well, MAC and Windows have PPTP Clients that work with RSA Secure ID,
I was expecting to have the same in linux.

Right now I cannot cnnect to my company internal network from my linux
box and so I am forced to use Windows/MAC.

RSA offers a PAM implementation for linux. Can that be used from pptp
or openVPN (I had no luck with openVPN neither) with any special
setting/configuration?

Thanks for your help,
