<p>Can you share the basic tac_plus compilation procedure and simple configuration file (with /etc/passwd </p>
<p>for authentication) on RHEL 5.9 for reference? Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>As my previous enquiry, my case was suspected to be "a buggy tacacs implementation on that hardware". </p>
<p>My case was that my network devices (including Cisco LAN switch) frequently report TACACS+ service is UP </p>
<p>and then DOWN (30+ times per hour). tac_plus (version F4.0.4.26) is operating on 2 separate HP servers </p>
<p>(HP ProLiant DL320 G5P operating on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.9, Kernel: 2.6.18-348.3.1.el5PAE i686). </p>
<p>Both HP servers are with same setup for resilience but both are with the same tac_plus problem.</p>
<p>Actually, I made basic tac_plus compilation without modifying any tac_plus source files and run tac_plus </p>
<p>with simple configuration as following.</p>
<p>a) compilation procedure:</p>
<p># ./configure <br># make<br># make install</p>
<p>b) configuration file:</p>
<p>>>></p>
<p>[root@my-server tacp]# more tac_plus.conf<br>key = <my-key><br>default authentication = file /etc/passwd<br>accounting file = /var/tacp/log/access.log<br>user = DEFAULT {<br> default service = permit<br> cmd = configure {<br>
deny .*<br> }<br> cmd = admin {<br> deny .*<br> }<br>}<br>user = admin1 {<br> member = admin-group<br>}<br>user = admin2 {<br> member = admin-group<br>}<br>group = admin-group {<br> default service = permit<br>
}</p>
<p>>>></p>
<p> </p>
<p>c) command to run tac_plus:</p>
<div># /usr/local/bin/tac_plus -C /var/tacp/tac_plus.conf </div>
<div># ps -ef | grep tac<br>root 22144 1 0 17:32 pts/2 00:00:00 /usr/local/bin/tac_plus -C /var/tacp/tac_plus.conf<br></div>
