> Hello,

> I just wanted to tell that little over one week ago I was able to fix this error by using an account that had admin-rights. The ones I used previously were root-account and read-only account.

the root account typically receives a unix prompt, which the scripts do not
expect.

> Now the same problem is facing me with a “HP procurve 2510”. I have assigned an account with manager-rights and configured it to .cloginrc file. I am able to login to the HP Switch by using command “/var/lib/rancid/bin/clogin DEVICENAME”

rancid -t hp -C hostname

will give you the complete command that rancid will run; use that for testing.
