Thx Max and John.

As for making rancid work with IPS modules I have found that the post
from Jeremy M. Guthrie
"http://www.shrubbery.net/pipermail/rancid-discuss/2007-May/002209.html"
does very well and doesn't require making a lot of changes to rancid
to handle the errors that happen if you run too many commands that are
invalid commands. I also eliminated the need for his ipslogin. I
simply just had perl set the TERM to vt100 before it ran clogin and
then set the TERM back to network after it was finished running
clogin. I also fixed some typo's he had where it was the work "at"
instead of "@". I fixed what should be skipped for the ShowVersion as
it had some extra stuff that can change.

Here is a copy of what I put on my webpage. http://www.gheek.net/?p=78

In order to get rancid to collect the config from an IPS module you
will need to make sure you have the correct login creds in the rancid
users ".cloginrc", add the type of ips to "rancid-fe" and you also
need to create the "ipsrancid" script.

Changes required for "rancid-fe"
'ips'               => 'ipsrancid',

Create the "ipsrancid" script as "<rancid_home>/bin/ipsrancid". Make
sure you "chmod 755 <rancid_home>/bin/ipsrancid" and "chown
<rancid_user>:<rancid_user> <rancid_home>/bin/ipsrancid".
