[rancid] Using rancid to change Allied Telesis switches configuration

[Dan Anderson]

I'm not sure which scripts you're referring to, but the hack-ish way would
be to run "ATlogin -c "copy running-config startup-config\rY", assuming
that ATlogin (or whatever the login script is) isn't terribly different
from clogin.

You don't necessarily need (or likely want) to modify the <x>rancid scripts
to be able to make changes to the devices. If you're going to do that, I'd
try to rename them to something else so that it's less likely to get
overwritten during upgrades. Granted, the ATrancid script isn't in stock
RANCID, but that's not to say that it may not be at some point in the
future.
