As always, I've changed pertinent details for reasons.
I was working on an ASR the other day and received the follow error:
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:ASR9K(config-tacacs-host)# commit
Fri Jul 29 12:55:46.243 PDT
% Failed to commit one or more configuration items during a pseudo-atomic
operation. All changes made have been reverted. Please issue 'show configuration

RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:ASR9K(config-tacacs-host)# show configuration failed
Fri Jul 29 12:55:55.421 PDT
!! SEMANTIC ERRORS: This configuration was rejected by

tacacs-server host 10.0.0.2 port 49
!!% 'TACACS' detected the 'fatal' condition 'Invalid Argument'
!
end
The problem here is that the tacacs daemon thinks the configuration contains an invalid argument. It doesn't. So, restart tacacs:
