btw, clogin is cisco (more or less) specific at this point.  a simple
shell script would whack that for you. eg:

cd /usr/local/rancid
for router in `cat */router.db`
do
    oldFS=$IFS
    IFS=:
    set $router
    IFS=$oldFS

    if [ "$3" == "up" ] ; then
	if [ "$2" != "juniper"] ; then
	    jlogin -s jnx_script $1
	else
	    clogin -s cisco_script $1
	fi
    fi
done
