[rancid] clogin: not found

Wed Jun 11 08:41:31 UTC 2014

Hello John,

I have expect 5.45. In my .cloginrc these switches are configured for autoenable, manually connecting with bin/clogin or bin/hlogin sets me to Enable-Prompt (hostname#).
I don't have too many Cisco devices, some only support telnet, these work perfectly. With those that support ssh I have a different problem, as I am unable to login whatsoever by "ssh admin at hostname". I suppose there's an openssh issue as the debug information says:

debug1: Local version string SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_5.9p1 Debian-5ubuntu1.4
debug2: fd 3 setting O_NONBLOCK
debug3: load_hostkeys: loading entries for host "hostname" from file "/usr/local/rancid/.ssh/known_hosts"
debug3: load_hostkeys: loaded 0 keys
debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEXINIT sent
Read from socket failed: Connection reset by peer

Regards
Mana

> I use the same entries in my router.db as on my old machine, but on the old system I don't get any errors in my logfile. For the "parentheses" error I found this thread (http://www.shrubbery.net/pipermail/rancid-discuss/2010-June/004987.html), but my hlogin already contains the mentioned line.

Would you tell me the version of expect that you have?  what the device's prompt is?  and does clogin work with your cisco/etc devices?

The regex is the same in clogin.  it reduces the prompt match so that -x and -c can deal with prompts that change, like they do between cli & config modes on cisco.

I think it could be reduced to:

 regsub -all {^(.{1,11}).*([#>])$} $reprompt {\1([^#>\r\n]+)?[#>]} reprompt

eliminating the stuff for the (enable)-junk in Catalyst-like prompts:
        foo#(enable)
but hlogin is also used for AGM modules and SMC/Dell.  I no longer have AGMs, but do not recall them having this type prompt.  Going by stuff others have posted about SMC/Dell, I don't think it would affect those either.

That said, I do not know why it would fail for you, but work for my ciscos and HPs.

I copied the .cloginrc and rancid.conf to the new host and wanted to test with a new router.db first, containing only 6 HP Procurve switches (switchname:hp:up). I can login successfully to each switch with "bin/clogin switchname" and I also tried "bin/hlogin -f .cloginrc -c "show version" switchname" which gives me a "no page" output first, but then the version and a completed logout.
