[rancid] FW: Rancid 2.3.8 FreeBSD 10.1 Cisco Pix 506e

[Nick Hilliard]

rancid 2.3.8 works without problems on freebsd 10.1.

If you're having problems, it's either related to the fact that you're
running an ancient and unsupported version of pixos (6.3.5 was released ~10
years ago) with a now unsupported ssh server version or else your freebsd
rancid package or one of its dependencies is broken.

In order to figure out which:

1. check that you can ssh to the device using the ssh command from the
rancid account

If this works, then ssh isn't the problem, so you should try this:

2.  nuke your existing rancid + expect + tcl packages on freebsd and do a
clean reinstall of rancid + all the package dependencies.
