the hang may be caused by the login script (hlogin?) not recognizing the prompt
once you get logged in. you can modify the prompt value within the login script.


here's a piece of the hlogin regarding the prompt:

if $autoenable {
set prompt "#"
} else {
set ae [find autoenable $router]
if { "$ae" == "1" } {
set autoenable 1
set enable 0
set prompt "#"
} else {
set autoenable 0
set prompt ">"
}
}

if your doesn't match the above values then the login script is waiting for the
correct prompt to appear...it should disconnect after 45 seconds.

do you mean it logs into a box fine, but fails on box2? ie:

hlogin box1 box2

or that it authenticates and then hangs? in the latter case, stephen
miller's reply is probably correct.

try switching the autoenable knob and/or see exp_internal in expect (1).
