You folks are somewhat confused -- you should not be using TACACS or
extended TACACS if you're concerned about security and are running
relatively recent cisco code.

TACACS+, which arrives in IOS 10.3 and above, supports encrypted
connections between the client (i.e. the terminal server) and the
TACACS+ server.

There are various issues with the security of the encryption key and
storage in your tacacs client, but most people are happy to
conveniently ignore those for the time being.
