[rancid] Can't poll a cat5 switch. clogin works fine manually

[Victor Breen]

Hello!

I am having some pretty aggravating issues getting a Cisco Cat switch working in Rancid.  Perhaps I'm missing something dumb?  I'm hoping someone out there can hit me with the clue-by-four.

I am using Rancid 2.3.1 on a FreeBSD box.  The "cisco" devices I have set up poll just fine.  This is the only cat5 device I'm attempting to poll so I can't say I've ever gotten one to work before.  Just the same, clogin seems to work when I run it manually.

Here's an example of clogin working fine with the cat5 switch.  It does complete but I've snipped the output for less noise:



rancid$ /usr/local/rancid/bin/clogin -autoenable -c "write term" -f
/home/rancid/.cloginrc -u rancid -p (masked) -t 30
10.10.10.7

spawn telnet 10.10.10.7
Trying 10.10.10.7...
Connected to 10.10.10.7.

When I run /usr/local/rancid/bin/rancid-run to test the automated method, I see this show up in the log output:
