[rancid] rancid takes linux user default

[Sun]

I telnet from a linux machine with user linuxuser (linux username)

rancid takes that linux user as login user to router(host1) not what is
given in file.. how ?, only this router behave like this other are using
user name from file only.

/usr/local/rancid/bin/clogin host1
host1
spawn telnet host1
Trying host1
Connected to host1
Escape character is '^]'.


User Access Verification

Username: linuxuser
Password:

though I put different user in configuration file

why so any idea guys ?

Did you run the clogin above as the linuxuser or as the rancid user?

I would guess you did the former by mistake. Or, you have an incorrect
~/.cloginrc
