[rancid] Re: 'out of band' access script changes?

[Sherrill, Justin]

Alright, then to sum up for future people who may encounter this
problem:

If the target device for Rancid is on a separate network that can't be
accessed directly from the machine Rancid is on, but can be accessed
from a gateway device, here's the steps to reach that remote router.

In .cloginrc:

   add method 192.168.0.2 telnet
   add user 192.168.0.2 your_gateway_router_username
   add password 192.168.0.2 {your_gateway_router_password}
 
   add method 172.18.0.1 {usercmd}
   add user 172.18.0.1 your_remote_switch_username
   add password 172.18.0.1 {your_ remote_switch_password} {your_
remote_switch_enable_password}
   add usercmd 172.18.0.1 {clogin} {-noenable} {192.168.0.2}
   add usercmd_chat 172.18.0.1 {>} {telnet far-router\r} {User Access
Verification} {}

clogin needs to be patched with Ed Ravin's changes here:
http://www.shrubbery.net/pipermail/rancid-discuss/2006-May/001490.html

The {>} in the above example needs to be changed to match whatever shows
up on the gateway system's prompt.  

Credit goes to Ed Ravin for getting this all to work.  Ed, I owe you
beer/cookies; mail me what brand/recipe you prefer and where to send
them.
