the login script tries to disable the pager.  where it can not, it tries
to filter it from the output.

> Also, in the line " cisco;command;ios::WriteTerm;more system:running-config;ASA/PIX" what does the last ';ASA/PIX' section for? Just a comment? Does the script do something with it or does the script simply ignore everything after the command section?

In router.db or rancid.types.{conf,base}, additional trailing fields are
ignored.
