Whenever the config is not saved on an Extreme switch and I run rancid-run I only get a bunch of errors in the log and no config is retrieved and diffed. (It appears as if the * that gets put in front of the cli prompt causes this, since that seems to be the only difference between a saved and an unsaved config.)

what is the complete prompt?
