Hi,

BTW, I've been seeing on a few cisco devices where the username prompt is now 'User Name:' or 'User name:' instead of 'user name:'. Should the next rancid version update the 'set u_prompt' line to something like
set u_prompt "(\[Uu]sername|Login|login|\[Uu]ser \[Nn]ame|User):"
to account for the possible case change?

Dear Cisco, Please stop making changes for the sake of change.

The prompts for user name and password can also come from your TACACS server. Also, you can change the prompts.


aaa new-model
aaa authentication login REMOTE group tacacs+ local
!
aaa authentication fail-message #
Local authentication failed.
#
aaa authentication password-prompt "Enter local password:"
aaa authentication username-prompt "Enter local username:"
!
user a secret b
!
line vty 0 4
login authentication REMOTE

I made an assumption that Wayne knows if he is doing that or not. :) but,
users who choose to do that, can use userprompt in their .cloginrc to
adjust the match. see cloginrc(5)
