level 5 doesn't seem to work for me - show doesn't work at all. We are
using priv level 1 (context-based) with

 username rancid privilege 1 password .....
 global all viewer

Trying to set something for privilege level 1 doesn't seem to work (the
level gets changed to '2' in the config, and paging isn't turned off),
probably because it's role-based. I tried doing:

 username rancid
     enable skip-page-display

but that set skip-page-display globally again, not just for that user.

Also, it's been a while, but maybe francid should just send a 'terminal
length 0' before starting, which I think would accomplish the same
thing? I guess that's not done because not all versions of the foundry
code support it?

Yeah - the raw output shows it hanging on the prompt (which looks like:

 SSH at hostname>

(where hostname is a single word made up of lower case letters)

raw output from 'francid hostname.example.com' shows:

hostname.example.com
spawn ssh -c 3des -x -l rancid hostname.example.com
rancid at hostname.example.com's password: 
SSH at hostname>
[hangs there]

I don't see an obvious way (in .cloginrc, anyway) to configure the
prompt regex, nor do I see an obvious way to change the default ssh
prompt.

If I do 'flogin [host]', it similarly just hangs - I can't hit return,
exit, or enter commands.
