Subject: Re: Use of Remote Authentication: tacacs/radius/etc...
Thanks for the help guys. I downloaded tac_plusv2.1.tar from cio.cisco.com.
I do have a question tho. Anyone running tacacs from under linux? It compiled
fine on my machine. I was wondering if anyone advises against using tacacs from
under linux in this case.
Besides, with the advent of new syslog hole that has potential to wreak havoc
on every unix os, Linux doesnt seem too bad :)
Thanks for the help
