Why not wait until you can buy a product that does both
radius and TACACS+? I understand there are people working
on such things, in additions to Cisco's announced support for
RADIUS.

Supposedly all the free TACACS servers suck. I've never
been forced to use one, because Cisco Access servers
have such a tiny port density.
(Although Cisco's will support OSPF and classless operation
which Livingston's don't.)
