Precautions The Telnet user needs to enter the username with the domain name system (that
is, telnet@system), so that the user is authenticated according to the configuration
of the system domain.
The configurations of local authentication for FTP users are similar to those for
Telnet users.

3Com Terminal Access Controller Access Control System (HWTACACS) is an
enhanced security protocol based on TACACS (RFC 1492). Similar to the RADIUS
protocol, it adopts the client/server model and implements AAA for multiple types
of users through communicating with TACACS servers.
Compared with RADIUS, HWTACACS provides more reliable transmission and
encryption, and therefore is more suitable for security control.
