clogin not logging into Cisco router

[Joshua Wright]

I tried adding a prompt to my .cloginrc file as follows:

$ more .cloginrc
add autoenable  *.mydomain.com    1
add user        *.mydomain.com    username
add password    *.mydomain.com    password
add prompt      *.mydomain.com    {"Username :"}
$ clogin -c "sh bootvar" router.mydomain.com
router.mydomain.com
spawn telnet router.mydomain.com 
Trying 1.1.1.1...
Connected to router.
Escape character is '^]'.

Username :
% Username : timeout expired!
Username :
Error: TIMEOUT reached
$ 


Still no go.  Do I have the syntax incorrect for "add prompt"?

Thanks.

Maybe the space between Username and : is giving problems:

log2# grep Username clogin 
        # Username
        # Enable Username
    if { "$u_prompt" == "" } { set u_prompt "(Username|Login|login|user
name):" }
log2# telnet 10.51.5.254
Trying 10.51.5.254...
Connected to 10.51.5.254.

First, thanks for such a terrific tool.  I have used RANCID 2.2 on a few
FreeBSD boxes and have always been very happy with its results.

I am trying to get RANCID 2.2 working on a Solaris machine, and am
running
into some troubles.  Here are my vitals:

$ uname -a
SunOS george.services.brown.edu 5.8 Generic sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-5_10
$ ls -l `which tclsh`
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     other          8 Oct  5  1999
/usr/local/bin/tclsh
-> tclsh8.0*
$ expect -v 
expect version 5.28.1
$ perl -v

This is perl, version 5.005_03 built for sun4-solaris
<snip>
$ 

Running "rancid -d router.mydomain.com" results in:

$ rancid -d router.mydomain.com

Checking into the README, I am running >Solaris 2.6 so the patches don't
apply.  I don't think the problems with Linux+expect/tcl apply to me
either.
Contents of my .cloginrc file are as follows:

add autoenable  *.mydomain.com    1
add user        *.mydomain.com    username
add password    *.mydomain.com    password

I have verified the username and password are correct.  The output from
clogin appears that expect isn't passing the login information, any
thoughts
as to why?

Thanks very much.
