[rancid] Need a little help with Auto Enable

Hi all,

I am trying to login to a Cisco router that has AutoEnable setup (enter user
and pass, and you are enabled).

I have the following in my .clogin file:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
add user 172.30.26.16                   myusername
add password 172.30.26.16               {mypassword}
add autoenable 172.30.26.16     1
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The User and Pass have been swapped out, but I have confirmed the ones I am
using are correct (can manually telnet to the device using the user and pass
to login correctly).

I have confirmed that the router supplies the correct "Username" and
"Password" prompts.

The following is the error I get when I run:

rancid 172.30.26.16

I have done some searching etc, but can not find what the problem may be.

>From reading through the errors, it seems that it is not able to enter the
user or password, but I dont know why.

Here is the output from a manual telnet to the device:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
telnet 172.30.26.16
Trying 172.30.26.16...

If anyone can shed some light on what the issue may be, or point me in a
direction that may enable me to trouble shoot a bit more, that would be much
appreciated.
