[Bug 589188] [NEW] Backport tacacs+ from Macverick

[Roderick B. Greening]

Public bug reported:

tacacs+ is a server for providing accounting, authorization and
authentication services to network devices (like Cisco routers and
switches). There is no current package available in Lucid which provides
this service.

This server package is a new package, recently imported to Maverick from
Debian. I have built, installed and tested this package unmodified under
Lucid. All runs as expected and I am able to authenticate my equipment
against the running tacacs+ server.

Since Lucid is a LTS release, it would be ideal to have this package
backported, and available. As a network administrator, this package
provides a crucial service, allowing me to use Ubuntu Server as my
platform of choice for administration services on my network. Without
such a package, the only alternative would be to use a commercial
product, on another OS.

This package does not affect any other packages, and installing it does
not cause any conflicts with other packages. I have a testbuild packaged
and uploaded to my personal PPA for review and installation if needed to
test. lp:~roderick-greening.
