Hi Michael, We're also running some RSA SecurID Appliances. Since we need the support from RSA and that FreeBSD is not listed in their supported OS matrix, we decided to use RedHat for the front-end HTTP servers to run their module. All the rest of our business application that requires RSA authentication is running under FreeBSD. IMHO you should only use an RSA supported OS to run their module. Because otherwise you won't receive any help from them if they know you're running this under FreeBSD. Sad, but unfortunately true. Good luck, David -- David Robillard UNIX systems administrator & Oracle DBA CISSP, RHCE & Sun Certified Security Administrator Montreal: +1 514 966 0122
