Yes there has been a tonne of updates regarding the VAXen on the mailing list. I’ve been busy chasing the 68k dragon at the moment.

once uppon a time I’d received a sparc64 to run TACACS+ on. Except that the sun compiler couldn’t give me a working exe… so I panic’d and quickly installed SIMH & OpenBSD on the VAX. Which worked… and I think took over an hour to generate the keys.. But yeah nothing like a Sparc64 running a VAX to run TACACS on to authenticate our routers.

But once it was working, it worked great and I never really had the need to ‘fix’ the original problem. And it kept nosey sysadmins out of what was going on…

It took ages to generate DSA/RSA keys for the openssh 🙂
