Hi all,

Here's another unusual (for me) problem: for one specific switch, when I run clogin, it doesn't respond after the login. In other words,

[user at host]$ bin/clogin switch.test.com
spawn ssh -c 3des -x -l user switch.test.com

It doesn't matter if I run clogin manually or if it happens as part of the normal rancid run, the same thing happens. The other cisco switches do not have this problem. If I run ssh manually from the prompt (ssh -c 3des -x -l user switch.test.com),  it gets to the enable prompt and then responds to any command I give it without problem. So it's not the ssh program, (because the exact command line behaves as it should), or the configuration of the firewall that is between the rancid box and the switch (or nothing would work from behind there). The clogin script works for everything else, so it's not the script either, right?

Any ideas?

Wayne
