add method * {telnet} {ssh} not working
Hello,\
I have configured RANCID (v2.3) on a FreeBSD box. It seems to be working for some devices. When I
look at the log file I see that it is trying ssh to devices even though I have added a method
stating that I want telnet first. I have 2 devices in my router.db file that accept ssh, and they
are the only 2 that are working. I am using a TACACS+ username to login to all Cisco devices.
Any ideas what the problem might be?

Thanks
Faron

It could be that both telnet and ssh are failing. clogin typically
only logs the final error when it can't reach some device.
