I've created a device template for NCM for my Paradyne/Zhone Bitstorm 2600 DSLAMs. The problem is, I can't for the life of me get it to recognize the password prompts.
An example telnet session:
$ telnet device.domain
Trying x.x.x.x...
Connected to device.domain.
Escape character is '^]'.
[ Welcome to device.domain ]
Login>myusernamehere
Password>********
device>!
device>!privilege
Password:********
device#!
As you can see, the username prompt is "Login>", the password prompt is "Password>", the unprivileged prompt is ">!", the privileged prompt is "#!", and the enable command is "privilege"
I managed to work around it not being able to detect the username prompt (presumably because of the >) by using the CustomUserNamePrompt option, but have not found a similar workaround for the password.
My template:

A wireshark sniff of the connection confirms as well that NCM is never sending the password (presumably because it can't detect the password prompt):

I'd appreciate if anyone has any thoughts on how to solve this problem...
