[rancid] CISCO username problem

[Stephane Malo]

 Hello all,
I`m new to RANCID and i was just assigned to work on it.
I've read some of the threads but due to my lack of knowledge i would need
an "idiot proof" explanation.

Problem is with CISCO CAT switches.
Q1 What is the difference that RANCID needs to know if its a CISCO CAT IOS
or if its a CISCO IOS?

When i try to do a clogin SW1 it gets stuck on the username
$ clogin sw1
sw1
 Tryning with username : password : password : telnet : 3des :
spawn telnet sw1
Destination sw1 found for customer XYZ.

Trying 10.x.x.x...
Connected to 10.x.x.x.
Escape character is '^]'.

Username:

Username:


My .cloginrc file looks like:
add password    sw1 password
add user        sw1 username
add method      sw1 telnet
add autoenable  sw1 1


When i log manually into my CISCO the prompt look like:
SW1 (enable)

Q2. Do i need to change it? If yes then what command should i do on the
CISCO?
Q3. Should i put:
set prompt SW1#

Q4. Should autoenable be set to 0 or 1

In general i saw multiple threads with various loggin problems on the CISCO
cat switches.
Q5. Is there a permanent fix?

Thanks for your help
