Ok, I went through the "Files Reference" & "System User's Guide". And I believe it would work if I could create my home directory and the .profile file inside of it, correct? but I do not have authority to do so. Is this sth I should ask the system administrator?
Thanks again,
Panchopp.

pam_otpw
PAMOTPW(8) System Manager's Manual PAMOTPW(8)
NAME
pam_otpw - verify one-time passwords
SYNOPSIS
pam_otpw [ arguments ]
DESCRIPTION
OTPW is a one-time password authentication system. It compares entered passwords with hash values stored in the user's home directory in
the file ~/.otpw. Once a password was entered correctly, its hash value in ~/.otpw will be overwritten with hyphens, which disables its
use in future authentication. A lock file ~/.otpw.lock prevents that the same password challenge is issued on several concurrent authenti-
cation sessions. This helps to prevent an eavesdropper from copying a one-time password as it is entered instantly into a second session,
in the hope to get access by sending the final newline character faster than the user could.
Both an authentication management and a session management function are offered by this module. The authentication function asks for and
verifies one-time passwords. The session function prints a message after login that reminds the user of the remaining number of one-time
passwords.
ARGUMENTS
debug Turn on debugging via syslog(3).
nolock Disable locking. This option tells the authentication function of pam_otpw.so to ignore any existing ~/.otpw.lock lock file and not
to generate any. With this option, pam_otpw.so will never ask for several passwords simultaneously.
AUTHOR
The OTPW package, which includes the otpw-gen progam, has been developed by Markus Kuhn. The most recent version is available from
<http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/otpw.html>.
