I'd just like to point out that if you are using a third-party end
points you are not secure. SSH can only prevent eavesdropping between
endpoints.

That said, has anybody tried the Yubikey? I've been reading about it a
bit. Apparently there is a PAM module. It would provide one-time
passcode functionality for use on non-trusted machines.
