Thanks Shoaib,
Thanks for your inputs.

given cisco name for reference only.

Hi Sathish,
You can define the following in your .cloginrc to use ³cisco² as a username as :
# Cisco switches
add user ciscoswitch01 cisco
add userpassword ciscoswitch01 {password} add password ciscoswitch01 {password}
{password} add method ciscoswitch01 {ssh} {telnet}
The first line define the username Š here it is "cisco"
Second line is the password
Third line is the first and then enable password Last line is the method Š here
it will try ssh first then telnet.
ciscoswitch01 - it is your device hostname and it should resolved to an ip
address. You can use either DNS or /etc/hosts file for resolution.
As Heasley mentioned Š this file sits under rancid root directory and named
³.cloginrc²
Also Randy has a point not to use ³cisco² as a username for security reason.
You can create user ³rancid² or any other and update your .cloginrc file.
Hope it is helpful.
