alogin, arancid, anyone?

[Andrew Fort]

Okay, I've got a working arancid/alogin for testing, based on rancid-2.1
(2.1 final, not 2.1b).

At the moment, it only does a measley '/info/sys' and a '/cfg/dump'.  If you
notice any other useful info that should go into the CVS, please let me know
what commmand you use to get that (perhaps the iSD-SSL stuff, I dont have
one of those) and some sample output if it's from something other than a
SLB-software AD3.

Please note, I would expect this will stall the rancid processes every now
and then when it comes across input it doesn't expect.  If you notice it do
so (check the logs), can you send me what input is causing to stall? (and if
the same occurs with alogin alone, let me know this also).

The following is a patch against the rancid-2.1 source.  Rename the dir to
rancid-2.1-alteon, then apply the patch from the /usr/local/src dir, if you
extracted your source into /usr/local/src (patch -p0 < patchfile). In
addition, you need to take the two files attached and place them in the
/usr/local/src/rancid-2.1-alteon/bin dir.

Then run autoconf in /usr/local/src/rancid-2.1-alteon directory, then
configure.  The only files that have changed are alogin, arancid (new) and
rancid-fe (changed), so install them manually if you like.  If doing a 'make
install', backup your $PREFIX/bin/env first.

To use it, add hosts to the relevant groups router.db files like so:

csw4.bne:alteon:up

and place a .cloginrc entry like so

add password csw4.bne {adminpass}

The password needs to be the 'administrator' level user password (the only
userlevel who is allowed to /cfg/dump).  I haven't tested with ssh yet; it
probably doesn't work at this point, even if you have a client which sends a
SSH_VERSION that the 8.1 series SSH software likes (it doesn't like
SSH-1.5-OpenBSD.* , for instance, in 8.1.18-SSH).  RADIUS auth is likely
broken also - I dont use a radius server so I may require some help in
testing this, or someone who can hack it to work from my patches.

If you run into any other problems, or have badly handled input problems,
please let me know.

Also, please let me know what hardware it does run on out of the box- I've
only tested on the AD3, but a 180 series I hope it would work fine running
8.x software.  It may even work on an old AceSwitch 110 running 4.x software
for all i know.

I'm on holidays for the next week (yay), the best way to reach me is at
