We haven't had any issues getting Tacacs to run on CentOS and users are authenticating through CentOS (using the old tacacs passwd file from Solaris). The issue we are facing is trying to convert the old Solaris script, that creates the users entries in the tacacs passwd file, over to a script that runs on CentOS. The Solaris script creates a user with a unique "uid". We were wondering if anyone knows of a Linux script that will accomplish the same results. We have a fairly good understanding of Tacacs, but we are no experts.

tacacs does not care about the uid.  just output any number or leave the
field blank.
