Darn, why did they have to change the text, as if "login" were so
much better than "username".
The only reasonable way would be to check the RSA release and
then to wait for the correct string. But first we have to figure
out when the change took place, that may be close to impossible.
I doubt that such information is in the release notes ;->
Looking at the Telnet documentation, there is another method
which waits for a set of regular expressions:
Telnet.expect(list...)
Perhaps we could modify the plugin to use that instead of
read_until(). I don't have an RSA board available though. Could
you try this out?
BTW, you also increased timeouts. Was that while you were testing
or is it really needed? At any rate, it's better to go with
longer timeouts.
Cheers,
Dejan
