Re: automated config backups for SFTOS

[James Harr <james.harr () gmail com>]

Second rancid.

If SFTOS supports per-command authorization (via RADIUS/TACACS), you can
limit the script account to only be able to use 'show run' and whatever
else it needs (even when it logs in).

That said, if you're looking for on-the-cheap, I haven't seen a free
TACACS+ server that does authorization and was stable, so you'll probably
have to compromise and give your script more permissions than it needs just
to get the job done.
