[rancid] FW: RANCID stopped backing up some Cisco devices

[Alex Sosa]

rancid 3.1
!
There are currently 5 devices that aren't backed up:
Mnfctr	model			vers
Cisco 	WS-C3650-48PD   	03.06.06E
Cisco 	AIR-CT3504-K9  		8.5.120.0
Cisco 	AIR-CT5520-K9		8.5.120.0
	
Unsure what was changed. RANCID is able to login to these devices.

> Hello RANCID folks,

> About 2 months ago our RANCID box stopped backing up one of our switches. After some time we started getting alerts that RANCID had old files for some other Cisco devices. We have logged into the devices successfully using the RANCID account. We're no Linux experts so have not made any config changes to anything of the files.

please email the list; rancid-discuss at shrubbery.net

when you do, include more information.  the version of rancid, the device type of the switches and model, and what you changed before the collection started failing.
