[rancid] Sonicwall: clogin sends password after first login?

Hi, I hope someone can point me in the right direction here:  I'm trying to monitor a sonicwall device with Rancid, and am having a hiccup at the first step.   I can get clogin to authenticate to the device, but it immediately sends the password a second time after login, so the sonicwall sees it as a command, and returns an error.  I'm guessing it's my lack of understanding of Clogin, but after reading documentation, I still can't figure it out.  Thanks in advance to anyone who can help. I have tried adding a timeout value, and playing with the -noenable option, but to no avail.

Thanks again,

Kevin


My .cloginrc file looks like this:

add noenable sonic {1}
add method sonic ssh
add cyphertype sonic aes128-ctr
add user sonic ReadOnlyAdmin
add password sonic {mypassword}

And the output looks like this:
root at ubuntu:/var/lib/rancid/bin# ./clogin -f /var/lib/rancid/.cloginrc -noenable sonic

ReadOnlyAdmin at sonic's password:

Copyright (c) 2016 Dell | SonicWALL, Inc.
Using username 'ReadOnlyAdmin'.
Password:
ReadOnlyAdmin at MY NSA4600_Primary> mypassword
% Error encountered at '^' marker:
    mypassword
    ^
% Error: No matching command found.
