[rancid] Re: Trouble with awk

[Rikard Stemland Skjelsvik]

The suggestion from Wim Livens fixed the problems i had. I was able to
create the top-file. Thank you all for your help!

On a relatet note: I would like to thank you all for rancid. I have only
used the clogin script up unntil now. But that alone has saved me hours
of typing and tons of frustration.
