It can modified pretty easily to allow backup and configuration pushes via a terminal server. Look for user_chat to see the modifications to clogin that allow it. RANCID is great IMO, with all the expect and credential information in place, it's easily adaptable cron jobs and scripts. I'm far from a programmer, but I was able to setup an automated block list for the ASA based off the emerging threats IP list using RANCID to push the changes. -ryan _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
