[rancid] Re: Netscreen: nlogin file 'set console page 0'

[Atif.SIDDIQUI at HydroOne.com]

I found this patch: config change;

 

 but we should be able to put in the page only for that vty sessionnot
affecting all the users and config;

As RANCID does not save the config after doing the following steps;
other users always get a message to save the config or not; even though
they have not change anything; it was because RANCID added "set console
0" then unset it cause the config changes. Can we have a workaround.

I'm using the latest nrancid and nlogin for netscreens.  Seems to work

nicely, with one caveat: every time we run rancid, paging gets turned

off.  On netscreens, paging is a global parameter which can only be

changed by admin users.  This can be very annoying for non-admin

users.

 

Patch:

        close

      } else {

        label $firewall

 

 

Thanks!

Most devices accept (negotiate) the terminal length sent by telnet/ssh
and

most allow the pager to essentially be disabled by setting the terminal

length to zero.  Some (broken) devices, like Foundry, have a global
setting

to disable/enable the pager that is permanent and affects all users.

 

So, what flavour is the netscreen?  Do you have the latest firmware?  Do

you have a properly functioning/configured client?
