Fw: Rancid 2.2.2 Problem with CatOS Switches

[Nipper, Arnold]

How does your entry in router.db look like? Should be someting like

your_catos_switch:cat5:up


That does at least work fine for me on cat 6509. The only problem I have
that I can't get the config always. But I couldn't yet figure out where the
problem is. Maybe it's related to ssh which takes a catos switch a long time
to reply to,


Arnold
