Yes, you're right, it was missing in my example.

Well, I tried this as well (I forgot to tell it) and it hangs the same
way:

root at sionet:~# cat ~eh/rancid/rancid-cmd
conf t
sh sys
exit

root at sionet:~# /usr/lib/rancid/bin/hlogin -v foo -e bar -x ~eh/rancid/rancid-cmd switch
switch
spawn hpuifilter -- telnet switch

I will try rancid 2.3.2a7 to see if it give some improvement on the
subject.

Nevertheless, I am still open to any hint with HP and configure mode
;-)
