[rancid] Cisco 3524 PWRXL - Login without username

[Gerhard Mourani]

Hello List,

I'm having problem with Rancid 2.3.8 on Linux and old Cisco IOS 12.0 3524 PWRXL on which no username is defined. Therefore for login into the switch I just telnet the IP and enter the password. For this, here my configuration inside .cloginrc file:

add password   1.2.3.4  passwd  enablepasswd
add method     1.2.3.4  telnet


bash-4.2$ clogin -f /usr/share/rancid/.cloginrc 1.2.3.4
1.2.3.4
spawn telnet 1.2.3.4
Trying 1.2.3.4...
Connected to 1.2.3.4.
Escape character is '^]'.

User Access Verification

Password:
Error: Check your passwd for 1.2.3.4

The above fail because Rancid expect a username before continuing. How to make my configuration work without having to define a username (add user .....)?

Gerhard,
