Re:authpf + vpn = overkill?

The authentication provided by certificates authenticates the machine, authpf authenticates the user. This is an implementation of two-factor authentication; in this case something you have (the cert) and something you know (the password).

For a home user one factor is probably fine, but for business two-factor should be the minimum.
