kerberos + securid (hpcmp)

[David Bishop]

As a follow-up to this, I just found a posting on krbdev in January
regarding this (I think).  Was there no follow through by the Cryptocard
people? And am I right in translating cryptocard as 'securid
compatible'?

Also, I've been looking into SASL.  It has a securid mechanism and is
open source, but everything I've read shows sasl using krb5 as the
backend, whereas I would be looking to do the opposite.  Am I chasing
down a blind alley here?
