[rancid] Mikrotik issues ssh on 6.35.4

[Wade Blackwell]

Thanks so much,
	So I did perform a clean install of 3.6.2. Still getting the
following issues (I did change the router.db syntax to semicolons). Test
login succeeds and a manual run of gives me this;

-bash-4.2$ /usr/local/src/rancid-3.6.2/bin/mtrancid -d 172.31.0.210
executing mtlogin -t 90 -c"system package print detail without-paging;system
routerboard print;system license print;export" 172.31.0.210
sh: mtlogin: command not found
172.31.0.210: missed cmd(s): all commands
172.31.0.210: End of run not found

I broke up the stated commands and ran them individually and the only issue
I saw was the output from "system routerboard print" was "no". Rancid-run
still fails even through the .cloginrc test passes.  It looks like CVS took
care of adding the device but the collection still times out. Pertinent
portion of .cloginrc is directly below and the rancid-run log is below that.
Thanks so much.

please upgrade to 3.6.2.  We can't support 2.x any longer.

in the rancid FAQ S3 Q2 there is some guidance for failing collections.
