Yes - I'll gladly test that.

Typical - rare failures.. gr8 :)

What do you mean? I don't believe there's any PATH set in rancid.conf.

I am home from work now - and it's national holiday tomorrow - but 
thursday, I'll try hpuifilter 3.0.2a and I figured I'd try to insert 
some debugging output in rancid-run - around where it calls hlogin (or 
is it rancid-control that calls hlogin.. I don't remember right now..)

p.s. router db contains: 10.10.15.96:hp:up
