AFAIK and as far as rancid is concerned, there are two types of HP
switches; Foundry OEMs and HP. the foundry OEM boxes use an (even
more twisted) version of Foundry's o/s, but should be of device type
foundry and thus use flogin, not clogin. The HP switches use ansi
screen controls heavily. That garbage has to be filtered out for
rancid. These are of device type hp and use hlogin.

you will have to determine the proper device type from the description
above. If you still have failures, then please provide a transcript of
a login, eg: hlogin sw_name

if you are using linux or solaris and logins are successful, but you
still get hangs, see the expect patch (hack) on the rancid web page.

actually both of these devices use the HP driver so use hlogin to test
it. I have gotten hlogin -c 'show config' IP_ADDRESS to work with my
hp 4104's, 4108's, and 2524's

I ran this command. Both of them just sat at the switches prompt.

I'd guess that you have autoenable misconfigured in your .cloginrc.
otherwise, provide the transcript.

Indeed... I did not have the "autoenable" set. I had not seen that in
the documentation.

Thanks for the help!
