[rancid] Changing Device Type

[John Heyer]

I have a fairly simple problem, although I don't sure how common it is.



We just replaced about 100 Extreme switches with Cisco's, and I've changed
the device type in RANCID accordingly. "clogin <hostname>" works fine,
however RANCID can't do anything for the hosts. My guess is it's trying to
compare the old versions with the new, sees they're 100% different, then
craps out.



We've already archived the old configs so it's fine to blow them away. Is
there a way to completely reset the backend so it's like they never existed?



Thanks so much,
