[rancid] "Proxied" config backups

[Flavio Vettori]

Hi all,
hope not to break ml policy as this is my first post here, that case I
apologize in advance.

I would ask people here about the chance to use one rancid-managed
network box (in my case Cisco IOS devices such routers and switches) to
reach other boxes "behind" it and this way do the things rancid does so
well.

I've already seen this post:

and also this one:

http://www.shrubbery.net/pipermail/rancid-discuss/2006-June/001550.html

But it needs kind a coder to get that solution work and I couldn't
manage to after some hours of trying.

Ain't this a smart feature to implement? I'm pretty sure others would
appreciate it and I feel (ok ok, these are my not-coder's feelings) it
isn't so hard to implement (isn't it some kind of "recursive" call?).

Thanks

I set this up late last year.

Try that newer version of the patch and see how you go.

Great, this helped A LOT!

Anyway I've realized that I was completely wrong using cloginrc settings
with the new "usercmd" method (me dummy): looking at you example showed
me the Right Way, so with the correct syntax in config file I was
already done with the old patch.

Thank you so much.

Flavio
