Hi,

I've been using tac_plus for years, never any issues. Thanks for it!

Last week we replaced an older centos box with a cenos7 box. I installed 
tac_plus using an rpm from pbone.net.

I could not get it to work to save my life. I messed around with the 
tacplus config, the pam config, no luck at all. I was at witt's end.

I started the process manually with a bunch of -d from the cli and it 
lit right up. Then I killed it, started it without all the -d from the 
cli and it still worked.

So now I'm confused. When I allow the binary to start using the scripts 
it won't function, when I start it from cli it works fine.

when I run:

[root at localhost log]# ps auxw | grep tac_
root     16163  0.0  0.0  26000   528 ?        S    10:30   0:00 
/usr/bin/tac_plus -C /etc/tac_plus.conf

and when I run:

[root at localhost log]# netstat -anp | grep tac_
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:49 0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      
16163/tac_plus
unix  2      [ ]         DGRAM                    6079166 16163/tac_plus


The output is the same regardless of whether I started via cli or scripts.


I just don't know where to go from here. Looking for suggestions.

Thanks!

-Rick
