[rancid] Fortigate 100 or 200

[Richard Owen]

I think I may have found the problem! we're using a super old version 2.5 on the Fortigates, as someone has been to lazy to upgrade them, even though we had a subscription to all updates until last year!!! (I've only just joined and have been tasked of backing up all network enitities) once upgraded to 3.0, the features used in the fnrancid work perfectly. For now though I have hacked both the fnlogin and fnrancid to get it working. I've changed the command from "show full-configuration" to "get config" in fnrancid, and commented out the disable paging mechanisms but added 15 send "/r" at that point, so when a --press <return> to continue, or q to quit-- is prompted, there's enough returns in the buffer to complete the paging of the config and therefore get a full backup.
If anyone has experienced the same problem, it would great to know how you fixed it.

Is that’s ‘fnrancid’?  Been using it for many months now. Frank From: Rancid-discuss [mailto:rancid-discuss-bounces at shrubbery.net] On Behalf Of Richard Owen
