you are testing with clogin
but your output clearly shows rancid-run is launching flogin.

It's set in the *rancid script itself (the one referenced in rancid-fe)

I don't have rancid code handy here, but it looks like you have 2 curses
of action:

- fix flogin to work properly with ssh
- edit the rancid parser to use clogin and not flogin
