[rancid] Using RANCID on Riverstone and Tellabs equipment

[Manuel Noriega]

I managed to get my Riverstones working with RANCID so I thought I'd  
share my results. I found that rivlogin was sending the incorrect  
password so I made the following changes to the file in the do-enable  
process.

===================================================

proc do_enable { enauser enapasswd userpswd } {
     global expect_out verbose
     global my_prompt enable_prompt
     set enable_prompt [ string trimright $my_prompt ">" ]
     set enable_prompt $enable_prompt\#

     if { $verbose == 1 } {
         puts "DEBUG: do_enable: my_prompt = $my_prompt ena_prompt =  
$enable_prompt"
     }

     send "enable\r"

     expect {
#        Username:     { send "$enauser\r"; exp_continue }
#        Password:     { send "$userpswd\r"; exp_continue }
         Password:     { send "$enapasswd\r"; exp_continue }

===================================================

This told rivlogin to send the enapasswd and now it's working.

My rivlogin file version is:

## $Id: rivlogin.in,v 1.17 2004/02/02 17:38:36 heas Exp $
