+Problem with clogin/telnet hanging within rancid or scripts?
+
+If you have experienced rancid (or more precisely, telnet) hanging on a
+solaris 2.6 box; check to be sure you have the following two patches
+installed (see showrev -p).  There may be more recent versions of these
+patches and they are likely included with 2.7 and 2.8:

+Patch-ID# 105529-08
