If he was asking about running a TACACS server like xtacacsd then you
would be right. But if he was asking about whether FreeBSD could be a
TACACS client it is probably not so simple and is, IMHO, a much more
interesting question.

Right now, login uses /etc/pwd.db for authentication. Some people have
hacked login to act as a RADIUS client too I believe. But what about
TACACS? And what about PAM?
