[rancid] Some lines are suppressed in Extreme X0S config files - Workaround

[Sylvain 74]

Hi all,

when Rancid gets Extreme Networks x650's configuration, it misses 1 line every 20 or 30 lines.

It seems that Rancid suppresses the "Press <SPACE> to continue or <Q> to quit:" message but also the next[or previous?] line.

I didn't notice this behavior before because I didn't read carefully fetched config files until now.

My ExtremeXOS version is 12.3.3.6.

As a workaround, there is a "disable clipaging" command since XOS v10.1, that disable the "Press <SPACE> to continue etc..." message.
I know this is not the good way to do it but if I modify xrancid this way :

# diff xrancid xrancid.new 
414a415
>       {'disable clipaging'            => 'ShowVersion'},


I don't have this issue anymore and every line is collected as you can see below :

Every line marked with "+" is a config line that was missed during previous fetches (without disabling clipaging).


I know that the right way is to patch clogin but I'm clearly not able to do that. Is there any candidate ?

Thanks in advance !
Cheers,
