[rancid] Cloginrc file is not working

[Charles T. Brooks]

If your passwords contain any non-alphanumeric characters you will need to enclose them in braces.

For example, if you have a dollar sign in your password:

 add user      myhost.example.org      rancidbackups
 add password  myhost.example.org      {$1$3733t$yzdwDjUcpcOafx}

Organizations in the USA or EU will fail security audits if telnetd is enabled on network devices., it's best practice not to use 49 year old plaintext protocols,  SSH is a better choice (only 23 years old).

Subject: [rancid] Cloginrc file is not working

Hi,

I have tried to login into the device using clogin, But the user credentials is not working from the .clogin rc. Please take a look on the below example.


For Ex:

add user 1x.1x.1x.1x user1
add password 1x.1x.1x.1x         {userpwd}  {$userpwd$}
add method 1x.1x.1x.1x telnet ssh


When we try to execute
> /usr/local/rancid/bin/clogin x.x.x.x
> x.x.x.x
> spawn telnet x.x.x.x
> Trying x.x.x.x...
> Connected to x.x.x.x.
> Escape character is '^]'.
> CC*******************************************
> HostName          : Compiled_hostname
> Hardware          : ABCDE
> IOS version       : Version 12.2(55)EX3
> SettingDate       : 2014/11/11
> ModifyDate        :
> Region            : Global
> Country           : XXXXXX
> Owner             : abc
> *******************************************
>
>
> User Access Verification
>
> Username: rancid
> Password:
Login Invalid


I can see that username which is in ,cloginrc and while executing the username is diff, it looks like that the username it takes the server credentials.
