[rancid] Restore of rancid-based hp procurve config files failed

[Stefan Metzger]

Hi,
 
configured rancid (version 2.3.6, expect version 5.44 on a SLES 11.1) based on different tutorials. Created a user “rancid”, the .cloginrc file, modified the
rancid.conf file, created the svn/cvs repository (rancid-cvs) and tested successfully the login on our hp procurve switch
infrastructure by using hlogin.
 
After running the “rancid-run” script to backup the configuration of a hp procurve 4208 switch, the config file under
/usr/local/rancid/var/<LIST_OF_GROUPS_entry>/configs looks like this:

If I try to restore this file by using scp on the switch startup-config (scp <backup file> <login>@<switch-ip>:/cfg/startup-config
I got an error:
 
scp: /cfg/startup-config/: errno = 0xe
 
 
If I backup the config manually by using scp the backup file (header) looks a little bit different:
 
-----
; J8773A Configuration Editor; Created on release #L.11.24
 
hostname "ProCurve Switch 4208vl"
max-vlans 256
module 2 type J8768A
module 1 type J9033A
[…]

Restoring this one works well.
If I replace the comments header of the rancid backup file by the second one (; J8773A Configuration Editor; Created on release #L.11.24) the restore
works also.
 
Any idea/solution?

Stefan
