Hi,

I first apologize for my poor english, I'm french.
I never used mailing lists, so I hope I'm using the good mailing adress...
Here is my problem:
Im using rancid in order to configure Cisco switches and it works pretty well, but recently we received some Nortel switches like MESU 1860. My problem is that I can't login on those switch because rancid can't pass this page :

### ### ########### ########## ############# ########### ###
#### ### ############# ############ ############# ########### ###
##### ### ### ### ### ### ### ### ###
###### ### ### ### ### ### ### ### ###
### ### ### ### ### ############ ### ######### ###
### ### ### ### ### ########### ### ######### ###
### ###### ### ### ### ### ### ### ###
### ##### ### ### ### ### ### ### ###
### #### ############# ### ### ### ########### ###########
### ### ########### ### ### ### ########### ###########


Enter Ctrl-Y to begin.

After this I have to enter my login and password, and it should be fine because it's CLI and not a menu with use of arrow keys like I saw on other mailing list.

Thank you

Hi,

we use this patch for backuping nortel baystack routers :
http://www.shrubbery.net/pipermail/rancid-discuss/2009-October/004292.html
http://www.shrubbery.net/pipermail/rancid-discuss/attachments/20091008/5435d62a/attachment.obj

However, we found that it doesn't backup all the config from the router
and we are planning to implement a backup with TFTP in order to have a
complete backup.
Has someone already tried to backup a nortel baystack with TFTP ? Do you
have a script to share ?

Hope this will help you.

Oddly enough for really rare platforms that require specialized methods like
that,
(i.e.: Log in, execute a backup to a variable file name, then yank it down
with ftp/s/scp),
I've been doing something more along the lines of building an expect script
on the fly and
triggering it to run against $targets.

Remarkably similar to what rancid would do, but modifying rancid other than
relatively minimally
challenges my perl skills.
