[rancid] missed cmd(s): all commands

Wed Jun 10 17:26:37 UTC 2015

wow interesting ... there are no #'s in the banner but it does ask for an
ENTER prompt, maybe its getting stuck there? I wonder if that is screwing
it up. It doesn't look like I can get rid of the "Press any key to
continue" even if I have no banner at all.
