[rancid] Scripting clogin with bash and username/password

[Hagen, Skye (skyeh@uidaho.edu)]

How about approaching this from a different direction? Instead of specifying the username and password on the command line, you specify an alternate cloginrc file, using the -f option? The alternate cloginrc file could have different user names and passwords.

I was hopeful about this, as it sounded good, but no luck.  Adding the -- option didn't help, and even su'ing into an interactive shell for the rancid user and running the command without the sudo didn't help.

Thanks for the suggestion, though!

Thanks for the response.  The full command line I am using is (I
automatically am enabled via TACACS+):

sudo -u rancid /usr/libexec/rancid/clogin -u<my-username> -p<my-password>
-c where <router>

If I add the -d argument to see the expect debugging, I can see that it
launches the ssh spawn with the correct username, but it is blatantly
disregarding the password supplied on the command line...

spawn ssh -c 3des -x -l <myusername> <router>

this should work; what version of rancid?

sudo -l[l] [-AknS] [-g group name | #gid] [-p prompt] [-U user name] [-u user name | #uid] [command]
is sudo using -p option for it's on to set a prompt? -u for own username...

test
  "sudo -u rancid -- /usr/libexec/rancid/clogin -u<my-username> -p<my-password> -c where <router>"

    --          The -- option indicates that sudo should stop processing command line arguments.

Have seen this before to ssh/telnet commands
