Nortel/bay routers and rancid

[stefmit]

Here is what I have:

.cloginrc:

add password router password (tried also {password}
add user router user (tried alternatively with the above, {user})
add userprompt {Login:} 
# the above is the only one getting me to the $ prompt, all other options
# (e.g. {"Login:"}) leaving me at the Login: prompt!
add autoenable router 1
add userpwassword password 
# lqast two lines tried without, with one at a time, with both, etc.

With all five lines above, in the form I have them now, get me as far as the $ 
prompt, which is one step before the bcc.

When running the suggested:

blogin -c "help" router

I still stop at the $ prompt - no "help" and no logout.

Any ideas of what could be wrong at this level?

Thx,
Stefan
