A tools similar to TACACS

[ronshuster]

Hi there,

We are adding more Cisco gear to our network and working with local accounts is becoming challenging. 
Anyone out there know if there is a (free) tool that will centrally manage all the user accounts, privilages, AAA is a bonus, etc.?

I am looking for something similar to TACACS.

Instead of TACACS, you can use RADIUS. Here's a link to a free RADIUS  server-

Hope it helps.

Here's one based on the original Cisco TACACS:

The original TACAS source code (v2.x ?) should also be freely downloadable somewhere.

Yes, if you're not adverse to compiling C code, this is an excellent choice.  I maintain this daemon for FreeBSD, and I use it in my lab.  It is quite feature-rich, and easy to setup.
