[rancid] Re: missed cmd issues - "wr term"

[Scott Stoddard]

I had the exact same problem and just like you it started out of nowhere. I
logged into each device as rancid manually and the commands would work just
fine. I eventually just removed “write term” from the list of commands and
haven’t had a problem since. I believe the command is in there for certain
legacy devices anyway.

Subject: [rancid] missed cmd issues - "wr term"

 

I've seen several reports by others having this same problem, but have yet
to find a report of cause and resolution.  RANCID was working fine for
weeks, then started dropping "wr term" from the runs in an apparently
random, though semi-permanent, fashion.  Once this problem hits, it doesn't
seem to go away.  The nodes in question are Cisco IOS.

My suspicion is that it is resource problem on the rancid server.
Suspicions don't count for much, though.  Can someone shed some light on the
issue?

Sample log is shown below.  Notice that in this case, the 10.y.z.20 seems to
run OK, but the first two fail.  They fail consistently from the scheduled
runs.  Manual clogin runs to the specific nodes have no apparent problem.
Unfortunately, I know of no way to get the manual run to do the full diff
and CVS archive.
