Hello!

I'm a newcomer to rancid. My proposal is here.
It's looks like I can't set in .cloginrc somethink like:
add autoenable * 1
add autoenable some-ip 0

My .cloginrc grows to tens lines w/o this feature. It will be great to
implement it.

And a question. If I need to use other commands to get configuration from my
CISCO systems, what is the best way to do so? I think to clone rancid and
modify the copy and rancid-fe script. Is it right?

But you may do it the otherway round :-)

add autoenable some-ip 0
add autoenable * 1

The seconf will not overwrite the first

Or more to the point, "the first match wins". note that in order for this
to match, you would have to type

clogin some-ip

clogin does not attempt to resolve a name (or visa versa) for the purpose
of scanning .cloginrc.

For now, yes.
