[rancid] NX-OS and colorized prompts

[Gauthier, Chris]

In trying to get my Nexus switches working, I discovered a problem.  The colorized prompts on the Nexus switches use ANSI Escape codes.  This totally trips out rancid and causes it to miss commands.  I verified by turning off the colorization manually that is the issue.  I copied the cisco-nx and renamed it in my rancid.types.conf file and added

cisco-nx5600-9000;command;rancid::RunCommand;no term color

right before the line 

cisco-nx5600-9000;command;rancid::RunCommand;term no monitor

Rancid timed out after the “no term color” command executed and changed the prompt.  Suggestions on how to remedy this within rancid?
