[rancid] Re: nslogin netscaler V8

[Marco Schirrmeister]

Does anyone have a working nslogin for netscaler Version 8?

I noticed the same issue with a NetScaler V8 firmware. It just didn't
logged in and stopped at the password prompt.
I guess the NetScaler files that included in upstream at the moment
are very old. I think below version 5, but I don't know.

I modified the nslogin and nsrancid scripts that they match with the
prompt and the commands on a NetScaler with version 8.x firmware.
Maybe we can include more commands. Right now it only runs "show ns
ns.conf".

You can find my patches and a new RPM package here. http://people.ogilvy.de/~mschirrmeister/linux/rancid/

I tested your script and it works well. Thanks. I needed it as well.

I don't know anything about netscaler, but your changes appear as if they'd
break previous versions. Why should that support be dropped? is pre-8
completely passe?

Has the prompt changed? Matching just '>' is usually a bad idea.
