[rancid] Re: Rancid-run not writing configs

Mon Oct 15 23:43:08 UTC 2007

This was actually fixed today via some good advice from a mentor of mine who
also subscribes to this mail list.  The version of Rancid I was running was
2.3.1.  When using HP devices, you must use the version listed 2.3.2a6.  I
simply installed the updated version over my already configured (wrong)
version and Voila!  It works.

Now if I can just figure out how I screwed up my cvsweb install... I'll be
doing good.

Thanks for all the help... great group, and RANCID is a must have.

This is virtually the same problem I asked about this past June 2007( Re:
missed cmd issues - "wr term").  Rancid simply fails on some devices that
worked for months previously.  The failure becomes a regular failure.  Part
of life with rancid.

The only response I got at that time that seemed to fit was that the problem
may be related to the Linux platform...e.g. no problems found on FreeBSD,
but has been seen on other Linux products.  It seems a common problem with
no other solution to date.  I just live with it and rely on other products
to cover the gaps.

Or, if your HP is one of the ones that Foundry Networks OEM's for HP, why
not flogin?

When you are running rancid-run are you running it as the same user you

clogin to the device as?

If you are doing HP devices why are you using clogin. Why not hlogin or

hpuifilter?

Hi all.. I've searched the email list for the last several months for a

similar situation and have not found anything that applies.  Hopefully

somebody can set me straight as I'm sure it's a simple configuration error

on my part.

OS = Ubuntu 7.04 lts

Rancid = rancid-2.3.1

Expect = expect_5.43.0

I can ssh into any of HP devices (3400cl-48) from the same rancid server, as

user rancid, with no error.  I can "clogin 192.168.1.1" to each device no

error.  When I "clogin -c 'sh run' 192.168.1.1" rancid hangs and will no

complete the command.  When I run /home/rancid/bin/rancid-run I get the

following messages in the /home/rancid/var/rancid/logs file:

I am using a radius server to authenticate, but I also have the correct

password in my /.cloginrc script. I verified this by sshing manually using

the username and password listed in there.

Suggestions, help, advice.. anything would be much appreciated!  Thanks

kindly in advance.
