[tac_plus] Very Odd Behavior

All,

	This is ....  odd, at best.  And I'm not sure that tac_plus is the
cause, but it's the only variable that has changed in the last day, so
I'm taking a stab in the dark here...

	We use rancid for configuration backups.  Rancid has worked wonderfully
for a few years now and we're quite happy with it.  Yesterday, we
ditched our ACS server and moved over to the open-source tac_plus server
(4.0.4.15).

	Since the move, we have noticed that a number of our Cisco switches
have spontaneously added "privilege level 15" to their configuration
under "line vty 0 4" ...  We removed the offending line as it prevented
rancid from running correctly, and re-ran rancid.  Again, the line was
re-added.

	A sampling of these switches seems to indicate that all the affected
switches are model 3750G, though I did run across one 3750G that was not
affected.

	Has anyone seen anything like this?  Any suggestions on how to track
down the cause?

Thanks,
