size=2 face="Courier New"><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>I just got rancid working with Netscaler 6.1 build 96. The previous nslogin and nsrancid scripts were coded for direct login to the BSD shell. In 6.1 Netscaler got rid of the ability to log directly into the shell. 6.1 also contains a new feature that allows a non-privileged CLI user to be defined. Further, you can restrict what commands this user is allowed to run. For example, it is now possible to create a user who can login to the CLI and only issue the “show ns ns.conf” command which is enough for rancid. I’ve adjusted the scripts to rely on a CLI user that has access to the CLI “sh ns ns.conf” command.<o:p></o:p></span></font></pre><pre><font

size=2 face="Courier New"><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>I’m not sure the best way to submit this code. I’m not a programmer by nature so I’m sure I’ve broken all kinds of conventions, but I have tried to comment what I changed. In general there were not many changes to make, mostly some prompt issues and I cleaned out some unused and previously commented code bit. The changes are NOT compatible with the NS 5.2 release so I’m not sure the scripts should even be put in the main branch. For now, I’m happy to email my copies to anyone that might find them useful.<o:p></o:p></span></font></pre><pre><font
