Problem with Catalyst switches

[Zhang, Anchi]

You don't happen to use ssh as your login method, do you?  In my setup, Rancid has no problem using telnet but fails occasionally if it relies on ssh to reach cat5 devices.

Subject: Problem with Catalyst switches


Hello,

need a help with RANCID (2.2.1) and Catalyst switches (65XX) .

I've put 6 switches in a separate group. 
'cat5rancid -d IP' is working fine for each of them. 

'do-diffs' running by cron is usually unable to collect configs from 1 or 2 switches (random, 5,6 times).
After multiple attempts I'm getting a configuration. 

Log file has:

Trying to get all of the configs.

-bootflash:,show module,write term,show version,show flash,show port ifindex,dir
 sup-microcode:

Anyway I could troubleshoot the problem?
