[rancid] Re: RANCID Debug Mode

[Sean Murphy]

Thank You all for your help.  Debuging works and I think I have tracked 
down the issue to the Force10 S50 with "SFTOS" software running on it.  
The Cisco Switches and Routers backup fine.  I have tried to apply the 
fix to the clogin and force10.in.  that a saw on an earlier post.  It 
now captures some of the config but stops for some reason in mid config 
and RANCID rights the output in the configs directory.

here is the fix I followed.

Does anyone know of a fix for the force10 S50s and SFTOS?
