By default, nrancid calls nlogin with a timeout of 90 seconds.  If that's
not long enough for your NetScreen to dump its config, then you won't
get the whole file.

Try running "nrancid -t 120 <routername>" to see if that gives you the rest
of (or more of) the config file.  If so, you can edit the default value
of $timeo in nrancid - look for this line:

     $timeo = 90;            # nlogin timeout in seconds

And adjust accordingly.
