probably the fix for that is to set PING_PATH in configure - eg:

$ cat MYconfigure
#!/bin/sh
# rancid config

# default prefix        is /usr/local/rancid -- make it ~/rancid
# default oldincludedir is /usr/include      -- make it ~/rancid/old/include
# windoze only - cygwin ping does not return non-zerfo status for ping fail so
#                use the windoze ping instead

./configure --prefix=${HOME}/rancid \
            --oldincludedir=${HOME}/rancid/old/include \
            PING_PATH=/cygdrive/c/windows/system32/ping.exe


And if you have any long device names ( > 12 characters??  I don't
remember) you might have to modify the code in clogin:


        # match cisco config mode prompts too, such as router(config-if)#,
        # but catalyst does not change in this fashion.
        # -LR- regsub -all fails on cygwin + long device name.  {1,21} works
        # -LR- regsub -all {^(.{1,11}).*([#>])$} $prompt
{\1([^#>\r\n]+)?[#>](\\([^)\\r\\n]+\\))?} reprompt
        regsub -all {^(.{1,21}).*([#>])$} $prompt
{\1([^#>\r\n]+)?[#>](\\([^)\\r\\n]+\\))?} reprompt
        expect {
            -re $reprompt       {}
            -re "\[\n\r]+"      { exp_continue }
        }
