[rancid] Re: CSS backup "end of run not found"

[georg.naggies at r-it.at]

You are right, Rancid should catch this. The prompt of our last remaining 
CSS on logout with unsaved changes is exactly:
"Configuration changes have occurred.  Save changes before exiting, 
[y/n/q]:"

Tried it out now with "exp_internal" debugging,

expect: does "Configuration changes have occurred.  Save changes before 
exiting, [y/n/q]:" (spawn_id exp4) match regular expression
"^[^\n\r *]*EPP-CSS-01([^#>\r\n]+)?[#>](\([^)\r\n]+\))?"? no
"Do you wish to save your configuration changes"? no
"[\n\r]+"? no
expect: timed out

Clogin still expects the prompt, so something seems amiss here.

But probably not worth much worry, since CSSs are somewhat legacy 
equipemnt, aren't they?

Since I happen to write to the Rancid creator: BIG thank you, we use 
Rancid big time, thousands of devices, best thing in configuration 
management ever.

it looks for "(Profile|Configuration) changes have occurred.*" at logout.
if cisco has made another gratuitous change, what is the new prompt?
