[rancid] Re: Need a little help with Auto Enable

Another option aside from limiting the commands issued by rancid is you also could give your username the same privileges as you would have being fully "enabled" so you won't hit a roadblock during rancid-run.  This is pretty safe if you have a good set of ACLs to firewall ssh from the world keeping the bad guys out and your rancid logins unrestricted.  The other side of the coin is you have to protect your username's password just as rigidly as the enable password since it can potentially do just as much damage in the wrong hands.

Ex:
username <username> privilege 15 secret <password>

P.S. I also recommend using "service password-encryption" and adding "transport input ssh" on your vtys if you have a crypto version of IOS ;-)

Edit them out from the commandtable in <rancid_home>/bin/rancid

You just need to put a # in front of the command you don't want to run.
