Not really, but my guess is that you would need to add another piece
to the puzzle.  Possibly LDAP?  I researched using LDAP very briefly (
i.e. LDAP PAM Mod -> Central LDAP -> RADIUS -> RSA ACE ) with hopes of
leveraging additional LDAP functionality.  Could be possible to store
the SecurID username within a user's LDAP entry?  Just a thought...
