Hi Alan, thanks.
I did use a tac_plus rpm that is distributed for centos7.
Centos7 does have some backwards compatibility with sysvinit. There are
a few other sysvinit startup scripts in place.
The startup script does get executed on boot, and the binary does get
started. It just doesn't work.
Log locations and permissions- I will pursue those ideas.
Either way, it seems we need to fix the rpm...
Thanks for the pointers!

Hi,
I've been using tac_plus for years, never any issues. Thanks for it!
Last week we replaced an older centos box with a cenos7 box. I
installed tac_plus using an rpm from pbone.net.
I could not get it to work to save my life. I messed around with the
tacplus config, the pam config, no luck at all. I was at witt's end.
I started the process manually with a bunch of -d from the cli and it
lit right up. Then I killed it, started it without all the -d from
the cli and it still worked.
So now I'm confused. When I allow the binary to start using the
scripts it won't function, when I start it from cli it works fine.
when I run:
[root@localhost log]# ps auxw | grep tac_
root 16163 0.0 0.0 26000 528 ? S 10:30 0:00
/usr/bin/tac_plus -C /etc/tac_plus.conf
and when I run:
[root@localhost log]# netstat -anp | grep tac_
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:49 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
16163/tac_plus
unix 2 [ ] DGRAM 6079166 16163/tac_plus
The output is the same regardless of whether I started via cli or
scripts.
I just don't know where to go from here. Looking for suggestions.
"scripts" are unlikely to work on Centos 7 as that uses systemd not
SysVInit. I'm guessing your rpm was built for a much older Centos and
quite likely is getting the log location wrong, or doesn't account for
permissions. Just starting the daemon on the cli does the right thing
and there's no interfering script messing up the works
