[rancid] FW: Re: Clogin error

[Parekh, Birju]

I cannot do that since some of my switches are running an older IOS and don't have SSH availbe. It is hanging at the user prompt when I test it with clogin. I got check your password error when I ran rancid-run.
Thanks

you haven;t given the reason why you can't telnet into the device, but it would appear to be sitting at a username prompt and not progfressing

have you tried just using ssh (removing telnet from the method) ?
