When i execute hlogin (telnet connexion without user) , this is what i get (but no trace in the log in "/var/log/rancid/") :
linux:/var/lib/rancid/bin# ./hlogin -c "show version" hp2910
hp2910
spawn hpuifilter -- telnet hp2910

Error: telnet failed: couldn't execute "hpuifilter": no such file or directory


... And when i execute clogin, this is what i get (but still no trace) :
linux:/var/lib/rancid/bin# ./clogin -c "show version" hp2910
hp2910
spawn telnet hp2910
Trying xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx...
Connected to hp2910
Escape character is '^]'.

Password: 

hp2910# couldn't compile regular expression pattern: parentheses () not balanced
    while executing
"expect -nobrace -re { [55;1H([^#>\r\n]+)?[#>](\([^)\r\n]+\))?} {} -re {[
]+} { exp_continue }"
    invoked from within
"expect {
	    -re $reprompt	{}
	    -re "\[\n\r]+"	{ exp_continue }
	}"
    (procedure "run_commands" line 23)
    invoked from within
"run_commands $prompt $command"
    ("foreach" body line 171)
    invoked from within
"foreach router [lrange $argv $i end] {
    set router [string tolower $router]
    # attempt at platform switching.
    set platform ""
    send_user ..."
    (file "./clogin" line 769)


Do you have an idea where this problem will come again ?

Regards,
