Not sure what that last bit meant? Here is how to get a copy of your OTP.
Fast way
========
* Open a terminal
* Press yubikey button
It will output an OTP into the shell:
------
$ cccccccgklgcvnkcvnnegrnhgrjkhlkfhdkclfncvlgj
bash: cccccccgklgcvnkcvnnegrnhgrjkhlkfhdkclfncvlgj: command not found
------
This can be pasted into the Modhex_Calculator page.
Harder way
==========
This requires you to have the pam module enabled with 'debug' turned on. When
prompted for the yubikey press the button. The pam module will print out debug
information including the OTP and ID of your token to the shell - copy the ID
into your config file and you should be up and going.

Yubico PAM module and SELinux.
------------------------------
Users with SELinux in enforcing mode (the default on Fedora 17+) may experience
login problems with services including those validated via
polkit-agent-helper-1, sshd and login.
This is documented in the PAM Yubico issue tracker [1] and Red Hat bugzilla
including a work around [2] for ssh (Equivalent files could be created for
other services). Systems in 'permissive' mode will generate AVC warnings but
authentication will succeed.

[2] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=841693#c3
To determine if you have SELinux enforcing or not run the 'sestatus' command.
