That's what i get for replying too soon.  It looks like your getting hit with the "last login" item that came up on the list in January. http://www.shrubbery.net/pipermail/rancid-discuss/2018-January/010020.html

Thanks James.  Except, I can get the login prompt fine, which means the SSH cyphersuite negotiated well enough; and, I have no problems with any of my other ASAs running various code versions between 8.3 and 9.7.  See also below.

[rancid at rancid-server ~]$ egrep -B 7 "^add cypher" .cloginrc

This is due to changes in the supported encryption methods in the updated IOS's and ASA softwares.  in your .cloginrc you will want to add a line:

add cyphertype <device> {encryption method}

you can find an encryption method your systems are happy with by doing the following:

ssh -vv <device>
[...]
debug2: mac_setup: found hmac-sha1
debug1: kex: server->client aes128-ctr hmac-sha1 none
debug2: mac_setup: found hmac-sha1
debug1: kex: client->server aes128ctr hmac-sha1 none
[...]

with my ASA's i use {aes256-ctr}.

Hello,

I have a Cisco ASA 5506X device I just deployed (running 9.8(2)20 version), that rancid’s not logging into properly.  Clogincrc is set to method {telnet ssh} because there’s a plethora of really really old devices that hang when I try the other way around (and we haven’t been funded to refresh them nor authorized to remove them).

Here’s what rancid shows:



[rancid at nsgv-prod-59 ~]$ rancid -V

rancid 3.4.1

[rancid at nsgv-prod-59 ~]$

[rancid at nsgv-prod-59 ~]$

[rancid at nsgv-prod-59 ~]$

[rancid at nsgv-prod-59 ~]$ clogin xxxxxxxxxx

xxxxxxxxxx

spawn telnet xxxxxxxxxx

Trying yyyyyyy...

telnet: connect to address yyyyyyy: Connection refused

spawn ssh -2 -c aes128-ctr,aes192-ctr,aes256-ctr,aes128-cbc,3des-cbc,aes192-cbc,aes256-cbc -x -l rancid xxxxxxxxxx
