[rancid] reason for autoenable?

[Lee]

  ... more newbie questions

If the userid automatically gets priv level 15 at login and you forget
to set the autoenable flag the clogin script times out waiting for the
">" prompt.  Why was the autoenable flag added instead of changing the
expect script to look for # or >?  It seems nicer not to require a
flag...

clogin line 743:
	set ae [find autoenable $router]
	if { "$ae" == "1" } {
	    set autoenable 1
	    set enable 0
	    set prompt "(#| \\(enable\\))"
	} else {
	    set autoenable 0
	    set enable $avenable
	    # --old-- set prompt ">"
	    set prompt "(>|#| \\(enable\\))"
	}

and
clogin -c "sh int status err-dis" switchName
now works if I use a regular userid or one that has enable privs at login time.

Thanks,
Lee
