You are right on it. I played with it for a while but having hard time
getting Authorization to work. Authentication works fine. If you can share
your config file with some mock data, it will be a great help to me. I am
using Windows 2000 Radius now but wants to use TACACS+ on Linux with
/etc/passwd authentication and authorization if I can.

Thanks in advance,

Sam
