Yep DOH on my part. I ran it with -d and got an error
Error: Unknown argument! -d

Ran it as  bin/clogin -f /usr/local/rancid/.cloginrc hostname, and it
fails to authenticate. 

Escape character is '^]'.

Password:

% Authentication failed

Password:
Error: Check your passwd for

Thanks

Your problem is that the rancid tools are not in your path.  You
either need to envoke clogin fully pathed (ie
/usr/local/rancid/bin/clogin )  or you need to fix your path.

You might want to make sure you understand how unix paths work, as
this is something that will bite you again and again over the coming
