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

[Kevin Geil]

Thanks, I figured it was something like that.  Is  it recommended to use a custom version of clogin, or do I just discard the error text when I write the script that retrieves the configuration?

Thanks again,

Kevin

> 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.

There is no support for Sonic.  So, I do not know if clogin would work with it.  you will need to add support yourself.
