Re: Linux boxs authentication to Cisco secure Tacacs ACS ver 3.0

Hi Juan:

I recommend you look into PAM Radius.  We use it on all of our linux
boxes to talk radius to authentication servers.  Cisco has strong
support for radius. We have a short how-to on it at our site that might
help:

I have had good luck with an RPM version on fedora, if you're
interested, let me know and I'll dig up the link.  

There is also a PAM Tacacs module, but I can't vouch for it. You may get
more flexibility down the road with Radius as more devices and
applications support it.
