cat5rancid error: "End of run not found"

[Ivan Philips]

Hey All,

I am new to rancid and I having some problems getting it to work on my 
Cisco CatOS switches (2948's). It works fine on all my other devices.

What I have noticed is that rancid sometimes can and sometimes can't 
grab the configs off the 2948s. When things go bad I get an "End of run 
not found" in the log file.

I can clogin to the devices without any problem but when I run 
cat5rancid on them I get the following output.

iphilips at lisa:~/rancid/bin$ export NOPIPE=YES;cat5rancid -d 203.143.175.140

Here is the tail of the dot raw file

Connection to 203.143.175.140 closed.

Other than the "End of run not found" it all looks good, but when I run 
rancid-run it I end up with a 0 bytes sized file and no CVS updates.

This doesn't happen all the time, sometimes it just works.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Ivan
