RE: Command Authorization for show run

After reading the AAA commands on the original config, I thought that
if you are telnetted into the router, the AAA server is determining the
output and privilege access levels. That would make me wonder, assuming
that the AAA is working and it has not defaulted to local privilege levels,
 if the AAA server is configured correctly?
