yeah.. we have a number of 8600s, and mostly 2200s and VHs that need
collection. you could capture all the output of a script fumbling
through the menus, then strip all the evil escape chars, and place the
information into the repository.. not great, but better than nothing,
perhaps. we have a script to gather the information, just not parse it
into something suitable for the repository at this stage.

Are folks out there using the rivlogin (from 2.3-eft) successfully with
version 8 software on SSR8600s?

Thanks for your notes Kevin,
I've patched the provided rivlogin to perform "cli set terminal rows 0"
initially.

Is this the same as "system set terminal rows 0", or different? Either
way, 'cli set term row 0' seems to work OK in that regard (it's per
session, not a configuration setting, which is the same as clogin using
"term length 0" on IOS).

The problem we're having is due to the annoying escaping the OS does
when completion occurs. Disabling completion doesn't appear to stop the
box from spitting out control characters, though. The regexp's in the
rivlogin code to take care of this situation (ignore the line, print the
contents of the command back to the system so that rivrancid notices
this rather than a munged set of escape characters) doesn't work for us,
but I haven't quite worked out why yet.

Why did you need to shorten the router name?

hi afort :
yes it's very strange , why I need shorten router name !

this is a result when we use longer router name , but shorten name
is ok ....

retrieving revision 1.1
diff -u -4 -r1.1 10.1.1.7
@@ -0,0 +1,5 @@
+ !RANCID-CONTENT-TYPE: riverstone
+ !
+ !
+ !
+ !
by the way , "system set terminal rows 0 " command can let
router don't display
"--- More: m,<space> --- Quit: q --- One line: <return> ---"
at end of each page..

before I use this command ,the configure that rancid fatch is
very strange link this
"+ [K19 : acl rfc1918 deny ip 192.168.0.0/16 any any any "
