Hi

I've just started using rancid and have found an issue with the ERX
module.

I'm running version 2.3.1 of rancid and talking to ERX's of different
software releases 5.0 and 5.2.

Rancid fails when collecting from both of our ERX's. It seems all
commands are actually executed but the script doesn't recognise they
have executed.

it seems to fail on the dir command as the logic appears to be wrong...

on line 266 of jerancid the code says:-
        return(-1) if (/active\/standby/ && !/not sync/);
I think it should be:-
        return(-1) if (/active\/standby/ && /not sync/);
as in continue if the unit is in sync (double negative being used in the
original).

Once edited I get a clean run.

HTH
