cool -- I'll fix the prompt character dependancy (to make it like > as well
as #), it'll be a few days though.  

Ho's issue was resolved by using the snigle password only in .cloginrc.

i.e.,

add password ad3-core {priv-user-password}

instead of

add password ad3-core {unpriv-user-password} {priv-user-password}

(the second password is ignored by alogin).

For the record, at least as far as I know, there's no way to enable once
logged in.  The password (only) determines your userlevel.  This muddies the
issue when you deal with using TACACS+ or RADIUS for user authentication.
SSH without AAA allows you to use any username, the password only being the
key for authentication.  Yet another reason for standardisation across
vendors, eh :)
