[rancid] powerconnect problem

[Ron Whitney]

Not sure if this is relevant but on my Powerconnect switches, I created user 'rancid' as a privledged (15) user.  I then configured 'add autoenable <device> 1' to my .cloginrc file.  This avoids the 'enable' command which may be causing your issue.  Just a thought.
