Re: Advice/resources for setting up TACACS server

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)

Hi --

We are currently trying to set up a TACACS server for authentication
to our network gear and have it run on suse linux hosts.  Does anyone
have any advice/good webpages or guides regarding this?

Thank you very much in advance!
