OK, I've added that.

Would adding this to the vendortable section do the same thing?:

    'alcatel'           => 'orancid',

orancid runs, but I think it executes "show configuration status"
instead of "show configuration snapshot all".

All I get for a device config is the following:

!RANCID-CONTENT-TYPE: alcatel
!
!Cfg: Running configuration and saved configuration are identical
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!! Stack Manager :

That's it, all 137 bytes of it. That looks like the output from "show
configuration status" rather than the device config.

How to tweak orancid so that it uses "show configuration snapshot all"?

thanks again
