Nortel/bay routers and rancid

[stefmit]

Thank you for your answer.

To clarify a little bit: bcc is [a sort of] enable. After one gets the 
"regular" prompt, certain things can be carried out from there on, but this 
level of CLI is very limited, so additional steps have to be pursued for full 
access to configuration, i.e. moving into bcc. Here is how it usually works:

telnet <bay-router>
Login: <username>
Password: <passwd>
<bay>$ bcc <CR>
bcc> configure
bcc# --> this is (in my opinion) the equivalent of Cisco's enable ... but I 
may be wrong. I was hoping someone has a Bay/Nortel router (really, really 
nobody out there?!?), and can confirm my supposition in regards to how far 
blogin or do-diff should get into.

I guess the only alternative I have is to look into rancid's code, to see if 
the "bcc" assumption is correct, or what else I can do.

Thx again,
Stef
