[rancid] Re: Applying Expect Patch Manually

[mv652 at softhome.net]

Thanks. 

Ok, I couldn't work out how to correctly patch the already-installed expect 
5.43.0-5.1, so I uninstalled it and tcl 8.4.13-4.el5 and used the 
pre-patched versions from your FTP site. 

They both seemed to compile and install fine. 

Unfortunately I am still have a 'freezing' with two CISCO 800 devices.  I 
have 3 catalyst switches (4948 and 3750) and two routers (2811) which work 
fine. 

The only difference with the CISCO 800 is that there is a <username> 
<password> to login rather than simply a <password>. 


The log file from rancid-run shows:
clogin error: Error: TIMEOUT reached
.....
<cisco-800>: End of run not found 


A clogin test shows: 

./clogin <cisco-800>
<cisco-800> 

spawn telnet <cisco-800>
Trying 172.16.11.1...
Connected to <cisco-800> (172.16.11.1).
Escape character is '^]'. 


User Access Verification 

Username: administrator
Password: 

<cisco-800># 

and then it just stays there.  I thought that maybe it was the expect bug 
mentioned on your website, but it seems the freeze is still happening. 


Could someone advise on what to check next?
