[rancid] Re: Can't poll a cat5 switch. clogin works fine manually

[Gareth Hopkins]

Hi,

What does your .cloginrc file look like? I'd hazard a guess that something
is missing in there.

The following config should work for your device

add user 10.10.10.7                     username
add password 10.10.10.7             {password}
add autoenable 10.10.10.7           1

You can always run clogin 10.10.10.7 (without all the options) to see if
your .cloginrc file is being used correctly.

Cheers,

Gabba
