[tac_plus] Authentication using Likewise and AD

[John Fraizer]

Configure tac_plus to use password = PAM and it will authenticate via
whatever mechanism(s) PAM is configured to use.  With that said, bear in
mind that using LDAP for network auth isn't exactly the best idea.  When
you have a problem with your LDAP server, tac_plus doesn't know.  It just
acts as if your credentials are wrong and you're unable to log into network
devices.  It is even MORE fun because you can't even log into your tac_plus
server and shut down tac_plus so your network devices will use "local"
authentication because the server is ALSO using LDAP to authenticate.

Just some things to keep in mind.
