Re: Advice/resources for setting up TACACS server

Do you have any suggestions for a free tacacs server which will run on
linux ? I have so far been unable to find any and the tacacs+ source
code hasn't been updated since around 2000

Thats what you want. Same effort for the most part, to implement.

I disagree with the RADIUS suggestion. TACACS+ is a much more secure
protocol. It encrypts the packet contents and has a more secure
handshake procedure.

The best answer actually does seem to be to use freeradius instead
of

tacacs, so I will probably go with that (though if anyone has any
good

tips on freeradius, please, let me know)
