Right, the AWS two factor auth is just for access to their stuff and not at all related to instance auth. You basically want anything that can be used for two factor auth in Fedora? The Yubikeys should work (http://www.yubico.com/yubikey) and I also vaguely remember that Google released a library with a pam module for their two factor auth a few months ago although I'm not finding a link to it in a quick check - Jeremy On Fri, Jan 28, 2011 at 4:42 PM, Brian LaMere <brian@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Anyone have luck setting up two-factor auth for Fedora in "the Cloud" - > preferably, at AWS?
