I have seen / heard good things about https://github.com/christian-becker/tac_plus-ng but of course no personal 
experience.

Alpine linux with Docker.

Howdy.

I imagine that this is an issue that has come up before but I am having an issue finding how anyone else handled it. 
(Unless everyone is still running tac_plus on RHEL7)

I'm trying to migrate some tac plus instances to a new Linux distro that apparently doesn't support tcp_wrappers and 
I'm having trouble both compiling it and making an RPM for it.

I've tried both the original https://www.shrubbery.net/tac_plus/ and the now sadly abandoned Facebook version 
https://github.com/facebook/tac_plus

If there is another tacacs+ solution everyone has moved to that I am unaware of please enlighten me.

Thank you,
-Drew
