You seem to be running into problems with the prompt changing (enable
prompt, config prompt, config submode prompt, ...).  rancid doesn't
handle this very well.

Have you looked at the example expect script cisco-load.exp?  Doing
something like that where you are matching your own prompts might
be the way to go.

Or try something like:
	clogin -c 'conf t\rint lo0\rip addr 10.0.0.0/32\rend;cop run star'
- i.e.: embed the newlines in the 'command' & rancid will send the
entire multiline command at once & only wait for the enable prompt
at the end.
	--asp
