Origionally, I thought it was something coming from the modem or just a intermittent bug in the xtacacsd code as I couldn't reproduce the results I was getting. However, just recently, I have tracked down the problem to users providing an incorrect user name (more specifically, one that doesn't exist). Doing this causes xtacacsd to die under inetd with the following log message: Mar 4 22:51:18 inetd[115]: /usr/local/xtacacsd/bin/xtacacsd: exit status 0x8b It retries 2 more times, and dies both times, and then the end user sees the message, "No response from TACACS server". We are running BSD O/S 2.0, and xtacacsd 2.0. Has anyone else seen this problem? Is there an incompatibilty with xtacacsd and bsdi? Surely xtacacsd shouldn't die, and should return a more useful message. Thanks for any hints/suggestions. ______________________________________________________________________________ Boyd Currey | Dragon Net - Internet Service Providers System Administrator | Sydney, Australia http://www.dragon.net.au boydc@dragon.net.au | Ph: (02) 9363 9432 Fax: (02) 9363 2795
