if you happen to do something like this... those are, of course, binary
files.  to have cvs handle them properly, you have to use the -k option
of the add command.  ie:

	cvs add -kb imagefilename

I'm using rancid since a couple of months and find it very valuable esp.
when retrieving the same information from a lot of routers/switches.

There are some commands on the catalyst 6500 which require multiple lines of
input (e.g. "clear counters" where you will be prompted for "Do you want to
continue (y/n) [n]?").

With IOS and telnetting into a router I've been successful (iirc) when
separating the commands by "^M" (i.e. Ctrl-M). But that doesn't work with
CatOS and rancid.

How do you deal with multi-line comamnds?

try using the "\\n" construct (an escaped newline).  For instance:

$clogin -f $cloginrc -u '$username' -p '$password' -c \"conf net\\nhost\\n$tftphost\\n$tftpacldir/$acls\"

this above is from a perl script - you may only need "\n" if you're
running it from the prompt.

Tnx a lot! If you run the command from the shell a simple backslash does.

It might be that you are running into problems actually reaching
the router & logging into it.  Make sure you can telnet/ssh to the
router and that your passwords are right in your .cloginrc.  See if you
can get clogin working first.

I can get clogin to work just fine both under the new account I've created and my regular accounts., but the do_diff is giving me the error.
My tacacs logs indicate that the user has logged in but did not execute any commands..

can you do
	clogin -c "cmd1;cmd2" router
?  if you can't, but clogin works, that may indicate some problem
with clogin recognizing the prompt on the router.

That looks like clogin not recognizing the prompt.
Btw, do you have autoenable set in your .cloginrc?

Subject: Problem with RANCID on RH 9.0
Message-ID: <4DA6346BC2C1994C857E9A2A0E09F00D0133CFC7@amerexchp01.intergen.com>

Folks,

I've set up RANCID on a RH 9.0 machine and everything appears to work with
the exception of writing the configs it retrieves.  I'm thinking it has
something to do with creating the temp files but I'm not sure.  I can use
clogin to access my router and enter commands.  I can also run rancid
directly and it will create a ".new" file in the rancid/bin directory.
However, running do-diffs produces no output.

While do-diffs is running, I can see the logon process at the router, but I
don't see any temp files created and my config file in CVS remains at zero
bytes.  If anyone has some ideas on how to trouble shoot this, I'd
appreciate it.

I've include to logs below.  The first is created from do-diffs and the
second from running rancid directly. Note that running rancid directly will
create a "burcr05.intergen.com.new" file in the bin directory.

Thanks,

Craig

-----------------------------------------------

Here are the results from "do-diffs."  Notice it contains references to
missed commands.  I can run those commands directly from clogin so I'm not
sure about the significance of that error.

The problem looks like it's specific to RH 9.0.  I removed RH 9.0 and
installed SuSE 9.0 and now it works fine with the exact same config.  Maybe
there is some subtle difference between the two distros with respect to
either expect or perl?  However, both distros have the same versions of the
two mentioned apps.

That's o.k. since I like SuSE better anyway, but I wish I could figure out
what did it in case it happens after an upgrade.

Thanks,

-C

In that case, it is most likely some subtle difference in the way expect
was compiled or the way ptys are handled.
