[nsp] TACACS+ server of choice?

[Sean Mathias]

To state the obvious, RADIUS has the advantage of vendor-neutrality and
native EAP support.  TACACS+ has the advantage of easy of use and full
encryption of exchanges (rather than just the password in RADIUS).  I
prefer TACACS for the ease of use, but have had problems in the past
with some devices (even Cisco) only supporting RADIUS.

In a similar vein, I'd like opinions on Tacacs+ versus
radius for centralized aaa.
