[rancid] Re: clogin error

[Grace Ingabire]

Hi Steve,

 

I have done it as advised. In my /root/.clogin I have this syntax for all
our devices:

 

add user xxx  peter

add password xxx  password enable password

add method xxx {telnet}

 

Where are we supposed to add devices (routers) manually?

 

I have tried to test as rancid user and got this:

 

 

/usr/local/rancid/bin/clogin xxx

spawn telnet xxx

Trying xxx...

Connected to xxx (xxx).

Escape character is '^]'.

 

 

Cisco Systems Console

 

 

 

 

Enter password:

 

Enter password:

 

Enter password:

Connection closed by foreign host.

spawn ssh -c 3des -x -l rancid xxx

ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host

 

Error: Connection closed (ssh): xxx

 

What is the root cause of this?

 

Thanks for your quick reply.

 

Regards,

Grace

Hi Grace

 

All you need to do is make the file not writable by anyone except the user
that rancid runs as.  You can do this by running the command:

 

chmod 600 .cloginrc

 

in the home directory of the user that rancid runs as.

Hello,

 

I installed and configured rancid properly but when trying to test it with
/usr/local/rancid/bin/clogin xx.xx.xx.xx, I'm getting this error

 

Error: /root/.cloginrc must not be world readable/writable.

Should not we edit this file?

 

Need your advice on the .clogin file and where should we add manually all
devices.

 

Thanks.

 

Regards,

Grace
