[rancid] Rancid and Netgear switches

[on at LEFerguson.com]

Thanks.  I ended up patching the dllogin.pm and dllogin scripts, mostly to localize my changes.

The issue I found that made me do it a bit differently is that it appears these switches are instantly disconnecting, without echoing the logout command or showing a prompt, so I just treat eof as OK if the command completes OK.

I think I have it running, I just did a show config, hopefully everything is really in there.

Appreciate the pointers.

i'd added this for f5 v13, perhaps something similar would work for ulogin.
