Re: (ASCEND) Non existant Ascend support, Max6000 and a reset problem solved

[Mylink Admin <admin@mylink.net>]

Try my finger replacement, an expect script that automates a telnet dump
of show users. The end result is a passord implementing replacement for
finger that gives the same output.  We've been using it without a hitch to
get the data for mrtg.  Be sure to disable finger in your maxen so nobody
can maliciously crash them.

Example code is at
