Alex, Use "ps -e | grep tac_plus" or you could use "/etc/init.d/tac_plus status" to see it is running.
[root@bart /root]# /etc/init.d/tac_plus status tac_plus (pid 741) is running... [root@bart /root]# ps -e | grep tac_plus 741 ? 00:00:00 tac_plus [root@bart /root]# To "stop", "start", or "restart" TACACS+ just su to root and type "/etc/init.d/tac_plus ". The config file for tac_plus is /etc/tacacs/tac_plus.cfg. If you need any help with the TACACS+ config file just let me know. Also make sure that you have an alternate why to get into the router if TACACS+ authentication fails and if the router can't communicate with the TACACS+ server. Good Luck and Enjoy!
