[rancid] [EXTERNAL] - Re: Tellabs equipment

[Luke Smith]

Thanks for the response John,

>> I'm new to configuring Rancid, so forgive me if I'm not asking the right questions. I've turned up a rancid server, I can get Cisco, Adtran, and Foundry no issues. I'm moving over to my Tellabs now and I've found a rancid-ssi github that I was able to find a tlrancid.in file on the commands needed and clogin works fine to get me into the device, but when I actually start a run, it doesn't get into the device, what happens in the logs I get the following error:
>>
>> Trying to get all of the configs.

I get what you mean for .conf instead of .base ... I put in base as that was the file location I had saved in my notes.

>> tellabs;login;clogin

I have this as the first couple of lines, is this what you mean?
