[rancid] Timeout Issue with RANCID Against Junos

[Mark Tinka]

Hi all.

I seem to be hitting a new issue that just came out of the 
blue:

Trying to get all of the configs.
hostname: End of run not found
Error: TIMEOUT reached
hostname: End of run not found
Error: TIMEOUT reached
=====================================
Getting missed routers: round 1.
hostname: End of run not found
Error: TIMEOUT reached
hostname: End of run not found
Error: TIMEOUT reached
=====================================

RANCID version is 2.3.8 running on FreeBSD 9.2.

RANCID was working well all along and just started spewing 
this (I did run a system update to patch the recent NTP 
vulnerability, and that's about it).

It affects only Junos systems (IOS systems have no issue).

I've also noticed that it affects systems that have a higher 
latency. Other Junos systems which are physically closer 
seem to have no issue getting checked by RANCID. That said, 
IOS systems that have a higher latency and much busier CPU 
than the Junos one are all working fine.

At one point, the failing Junos router was successful, but 
after that, all attempts for the same and other routers have 
been unsuccessful.

Any hints would be most appreciated.

Cheers,

Mark.
