[Fedora-directory-users] PAM passthru questions and SecureID

All,

I've been looking longingly at the PAM pass-through module as it would 
give us access to capabilities we've wanted for a while.  I've looked at 
the README, but I still have a few questions.

1. Is it possible to specify PAM as the authentication on a per-account 
basis?
2. Is it possible to specify authentication escalation on failure on a 
per account basis?
3. Has anyone deployed it in a production environment?
	If so, what type(s) of PAM auth did you use?

Also, if anyone has any successful examples of using two-factor 
authentication tokens (specifically either SecureID or CryptoCard, but 
also others), I would love to hear about them.  It seems that none of 
the vendors providing token-based support LDAP as a primary user info 
repository directly, which is odd, to say the least.

I'd like to add that compared to OpenLDAP, Fedora DS is a breath of 
fresh air.  Thanks for making it available.

Chris.
