Problems with RE matching in .cloginrc

[Dylan Hall]

The problem also occurs with jlogin 2.1 and 2.2b8 (my xlogin was derived from jlogin 2.1).

I beleave the problem is the way that jlogin looks up the password. From jlogin 2.1:

1    # Figure out loginname's password (if different from the vty password)
2    if {[info exists userpswd]} {
3      # command line passwd
4      set passwd $userpswd
5    } else {
6      set passwd [lindex [find password $loginname@$router] 0]
7      if { "$passwd" == "" } { set passwd [lindex [find password $router] 0] }
8    }

The find on line 6 matches the wildcard in .cloginrc instead of the match on line 7.

The workaround is to remove the check for $loginname@$router from jlogin. Can you suggest a more elegant fix?

Thanks,
