[rancid] Re: Recurring Diffs

[Lance]

Yousef,

**NOTE**
In this email when I am talking about the application as a WHOLE is say
"RANCID". When I talk about files I will say something like "rancid"
"clogin" "rancid-cvs" etc. Hopefully this makes it easier to understand
what I am talking about.

If you have the default you will have the follow as your install
location for the bin files of RANCID.

/usr/local/rancid/bin/

the file "rancid" in this directory is where you would make the changes.
The "rancid" file is a perl script that makes a system call to an expect
script "clogin". Open up the "rancid" file and do a search for "Main".
You will find below that there is a list of commands. If you are unsure
of what I am talking about send me your "rancid" file. This is a
specific script file that is one of many scripts that come with RANCID.
