[rancid] Re: bypassing splash screen on HP ProCurve 3500

[Arne Svennevik]

First, I'd try with hlogin instead of clogin (since it's a HP). We have
several types of HP switches, all with the mentioned splash screen, and
rancid pulls configs just fine. We use 'hp' as device type in router.db and
the following authentication info:
add password    xx.xx.xx.xx           {password}
add method      xx.xx.xx.xx           telnet
add autoenable  xx.xx.xx.xx           1

Regards,
Arne Svennevik

Still stuck on this. Running "clogin -c 'show run' 1.2.3.4" hangs at the
splash screen (output below).

Thanks in advance for any clues on getting beyond that point.
