Thanks for the response.

Yes very much, I would be. Please let me know when the patch is ready. :)

Using SecurID proprietory libraries is incompatible with the GPL, so I
had to remove the support.

The chances are.  It will be back when a free implementation of
SecurID is available.

In the meantime, if you are interested, I can prepare a patch for you
which will enable v.1.4 to work with SecurID.
