> Would a script from v1 work in v3?  That’s what we upgraded from; the old server was circa 2002 or so.

it should, if the login script hasn't changed in an incompatible way with the device.  to use a v1 or v2 script in v3, the device type must be added to your rancid.types.conf; see an existing v2 entry in rancid.types.base, such as smc.

> Anyway, thanks for the SMC info; I’ll check that out.  Our 3COMs are so old I doubt it (the oldest we have running were installed around 1990 I think, with further installations until sometime 1999 - 2002).  But, it can’t hurt to check, maybe we can restore rancid’s service to some of them at least.
