Subject: Using RSA SecurID (EAP) authentication with pptp and pppd

Has anyone been able to log onto a VPN that uses SecurID for 
authentication?

I have installed the RSA SecurID PAM authentication module for the 
SecurID card. However, I cannot get pptp to use SecurID ... whenever I 
try and start the tunnel, it errors with EAP as an unknown 
authentication type and crashes out.

THere HAS to be a way, surely, of telling pptp to use the SecurID PAM 
athentication when it tries to connect to the VPN that I need it for?


As a dedicated Linux person, what really winds me up is that for once, 
in windows, it is easy! You just install the relevant DLLs and you get a 
popup window when you first log in , which you enter the securID details 
into... and bingo! You are in.

I really want to get this working in Linux! I don't want to use M$!

If anyone can help, please do so!

I am running Mandrake 10.0.

Thanks,

Brad
