I'd like to implement that on my remote logins, without having to
equally enforce it on local logins to the same systems. As far as I can
tell, something like TOTP has to be implemented as a PAM module on the
account - which means that it isn't only used during an ssh login.
I can see why - otherwise ssh would have to know how to do TOTP itself,
whereas at the moment it just provides a channel for whatever
challenge-response the host systems wants to do.
Regards, K.
