Hello.

Can someone provide any information/links on how to implement 2 factor authentication with ssh? Do I need any extra 
software? Is there any open source tool that can help? 

Thank you in advance.

short answer:  use pam_radius (or pam_something) to connect to your
two-factor authentication server. Edit /etc/pam.d/sshd to use pam_radius
and edit /etc/raddb/server to point to your radius server.

HTH,
