[rancid] powerconnect problem

[Angelo Höngens]

Hey,

I'm running rancid 2.3.6 on CentOS5.5..

I was running on old version of rancid, which worked perfectly for over
a year, but I was stupid enough to break it. (I trashed the vm and
installed a new clean CentOS machine to start fresh)

I'm monitoring cisco, hp and dell devices. Cisco and HP work fine, but I
have some problems with my dell devices (PowerConnect 6224 switches).
I'm running Ricky Ninja's dlogin and drancid scripts, the latest on his
site.

When I run dlogin interactively, it works fine:

-----------------------------------------------------
[rancid at til-bak-02 logs]$ dlogin -c "show ver"
wol-swi-a1.weeronlinecolo.local
wol-swi-a1.weeronlinecolo.local
spawn ssh -c 3des -x -l root wol-swi-a1.weeronlinecolo.local
root at wol-swi-a1.weeronlinecolo.local's password:

console>enable

console#
console#show ver

<..bla, correct output..]

    1     2.2.0.3     2.2.0.3             image1             image1
    2     2.2.0.3     2.2.0.3             image1             image1

console#exit

console>exit
         ^
% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.

console>quitReceived disconnect from 10.216.254.181: 11: Logout
[rancid at til-bak-02 logs]$
-----------------------------------------------------
As you can see, the command exits nicely (it sends an 'exit', and when
that gives an error it send a 'quit').


Hoewever, when running from rancid-run, it seems to hang. When I tail
the logfile, I see it logs in to the switch, it sends the enable
command, and then.. nothing, everything just hangs:

-----------------------------------------------------
wol-swi-a1.weeronlinecolo.local
spawn ssh -c 3des -x -l root wol-swi-a1.weeronlinecolo.local
root at wol-swi-a1.weeronlinecolo.local's password:

console>enable

console#
console#
-----------------------------------------------------

Does anyone have any clever ideas?
