[rancid] Rancid on Force10 SFTOS

[Marcus Stoegbauer]

Hi,

in case anyone will stumble upon this in the last months of SFTOS,
here is how you can make Rancid work with Force10 SFTOS:

1. Tell clogin to send "logout" instead of "exit" when working with
Force10 (the diff is against rancid-2.3.2a8):

+ if { [ string compare "force10" "$platform" ] } {
+ send -h "logout\r"
+ } else {
+ send -h "exit\r"
+ }
exp_continue;
}
"Would you like to save them now" { # Force10


2. Get the new f10rancid module from
http://www.twoguys.org/~gregh/software/f10rancid.in
The "end" of show run is actually a "end " on SFTOS, so
we have to change one line. I don't know if adding a match
for zero or more spaces will break anything with FTOS though
(and can't test):
