been trying to backup the Cisco ACE but Rancid seems to time out during the
connection.&nbsp; I think it has to do with the pager.&nbsp; On the ACE, every
time I login the pager gets set back to its default.&nbsp; Logging in and then
setting &#8216;term length 0&#8217; only works for the session.&nbsp; After
Rancid logs out, the pager gets reset.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

I set &#8216;term length 0&#8217; and &#8216;sho run&#8217; completes with no

assumption is that somehow Rancid is expecting the enable prompt but not

just not proficient enough to know where to hard code a &#8216;term length 0&#8217;
