Re: What are you guys doing for tacacs+ in 2026?

Marc Huber's tac_plus-ng from 
https://projects.pro-bono-publico.de/event-driven-servers/ but it's a 
manual installation process (not difficult really). There was a commit 
just two days ago and I see evidence of near continuous development.

The shrubbery version still has Python 2 dependencies and was removed 
from Debian 12 and derivatives with the Python 2 sunset. I imagine 
that's also an issue with RHEL.
