> I'm having problem with Rancid 2.3.8 on Linux and old Cisco IOS 12.0 3524 PWRXL on which no username is defined. Therefore for login into the switch I just telnet the IP and enter the password. For this, here my configuration inside .cloginrc file:
> 
> add password   1.2.3.4  passwd  enablepasswd
> add method     1.2.3.4  telnet
> 
> 
> bash-4.2$ clogin -f /usr/share/rancid/.cloginrc 1.2.3.4
> 1.2.3.4
> spawn telnet 1.2.3.4
> Trying 1.2.3.4...
> Connected to 1.2.3.4.
> Escape character is '^]'.

> The above fail because Rancid expect a username before continuing. How to make my configuration work without having to define a username (add user .....)?
