Cactiusers.org

i was having a bit of trouble with the v0.2 enable password when it wouldn't save a new account i created in authentication tab.
i have got round this now by updating the router_accounts table in mysql.

i have also got manual backups to work to tftp from cisco devices to my cacti tftp folder.
the backup initiated from cacti still doesn't work and i seen a post about recreating the devices in cacti but this doesn't work for me.
i went on to one of my cisco routers to see the debugging info and it doesn't look like the routerconfigs plugin is passing the credentials through.
i use ACS with tacacs which i have seen mentioned in other posts so i assume it is supported?

the output from my cisco router is:

these lines in particular worry me but i can't find anymore info on these errors:

is cacti sending a null users value and using logon privlege of 1?
the tacac account is created on the ACS server itself not a connection to an ldap/nt database.

any help appreciated.

has anyone else had problems with the routerconfigs 0.2 out there?
when will the official version be released?

I can't comment or support alpha versions of plugins (its not ready yet!). It will be released once I find time to finish it.
