Dial-in server

We have eight available telephone lines for dial-in. My predecessor has configured two lines going through a Cisco 2500 router configured for TACACS. The remaining problem now is to fabricate RS232 interfaces for the other six modems. (Another problem, I suppose, is that he did not leave any documentation on how he configured the TACACS and NAS. Emailed him on that already.)

I'm not very familiar with Cisco routers -- mostly just basic IOS stuff -- so I'm trying to cram as much knowledge on TACACS as possible. Seems fairly easy, with the online documentation available. Yeah, right: easier said than done.

I'm also having problems with Maui. Again. Seems like she can't resolve FQDNs. But dig is running fine. Nothing unusual in the logs. So I had to edit the /etc/yum.conf file to include just the IP addresses for the yum repositories. It's a hack, I know, but it worked. I'm not sure, but I think her TCP/IP stack is whacked up a bit. She's humming softly, though, not spewing out complaints or anything. I wouldn't want to take her down just to see what's wrong. It's in her somewhere -- I just have to look harder.

I plan to download all configuration files from the servers. They are suffering from pooris-documentatis, I suppose, so I have to remedy that.
