[rancid] RANCID/clogin context-change FWSM/ASA

[Jack O Regan]

Hi Lee,

I'm trying to get rancid to backup some virtual contexts too. Below is an
example of how my prompt changes on my ASA5525.

*FWL/admin/act# changeto context int-crp*
*FWL/int-crp/act# changeto context system*
*FWL/act#*

It always ends in a '#'. Is this the same for you ? I think this bit of
code (from /usr/local/rancid/bin/clogin) detects the prompt

*    # Figure out the prompt.*
*    if { [regexp -- "(#| \\(enable\\))" $prompt_match junk] == 1 } {*
*        set enable 0*

I think its looking for # or (enable) but I don't understand how it ignores
what ever text comes before that. So it *should* work. Maybe it doesn't
like the /'s being part of what comes before the #. I'm not sure how to
investigate that.

For example if the prompt changed to > we should insert it there.

*    # Figure out the prompt.*
*    if { [regexp -- "(>|#| \\(enable\\))" $prompt_match junk] == 1 } {*
*        set enable 0*

Sorry I can't be of anymore help.

Regards,
Jack
