[rancid] Recurring Diffs

Hello..

I'm a new RANCID user who got really impressed by the project. Thanks
a lot for creating such great tools.

One little thing is bugging me though, one of my routers (6500) is
giving me recurring diffs almost every hour. This is what it shows:

@@ -28,10 +28,10 @@
!BootFlash: Configuration register is 0x2102
!
!Flash: 65536K bytes of Flash internal SIMM (Sector size 512K).
!Flash: Directory of flash:/

!Flash: nvram: 513 -rw- 5804 <no date> startup-config

Why does nv_hdr change every hour? Any idea?
I'm using rancind 2.3.1_2 on FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE

Thanks in advance for any help

Yousef,

Just my guess but probably due to some changes that the system is
tracking. I personally ignore the collection of this output. I just
comment out the command.

Yousef,

edit your bin/rancid file. You will want to search for Main. There
should only be one thing that matches that. Comment out the command you
don't want to run.

If that doesn't help you send me your rancid file I will comment it for
you.

I'm sorry Lance, do you mean /usr/local/bin/rancid-cvs ?

I couldn't figure out what to comment in that file, can you please
help me with that?

Thanks in advance.

Yousef,

**NOTE**
In this email when I am talking about the application as a WHOLE is say
"RANCID". When I talk about files I will say something like "rancid"
"clogin" "rancid-cvs" etc. Hopefully this makes it easier to understand
what I am talking about.

If you have the default you will have the follow as your install
location for the bin files of RANCID.

/usr/local/rancid/bin/

the file "rancid" in this directory is where you would make the changes.
The "rancid" file is a perl script that makes a system call to an expect
script "clogin". Open up the "rancid" file and do a search for "Main".
You will find below that there is a list of commands. If you are unsure
of what I am talking about send me your "rancid" file. This is a
specific script file that is one of many scripts that come with RANCID.

I found it, but is this the right line to comment
'dir /all nvram:' => "DirSlotN",

or is it something else?

Thanks a lot for your great help :)

Dear Lance and group members,

Once I comment/remove the line
'dir /all nvram:' => "DirSlotN",
rancid can't connect to ANY of my devices, it sends me this E-mail

The following routers have not been successfully contacted for
more than 4 hours.
-rw-r----- 1 rancid netteam 28495 Aug 18 09:00 192.168.10.6

I have attached the rancid file I have, can someone tell me what is
the correct line to comment?

Thanks in advance for your great help...

Yousef,

I have attached a version of rancid that has all the dir statement
commented out. I will double check my own version when I get to work on
monday and see exactly what I have. I will let you know.

What error is in the logs? It should not effect any of the connection
scripts and if a command should fail the device will spit back and error
or wait for timeout then continue to the next command.

It gives this:

-rw-r----- 1 rancid netteam 16919 Aug 18 09:00 192.168.2.z

It seems like it is affecting the connection scripts somehow!

Yousef,

You need to check your log file. That would be something similar to
"<rancid path>/var/log/<group>-date"
/usr/local/rancid/var/log/network-20070919

Look in that file and see exactly what it says.

None the less I will check my script at work on monday and let you know.

Yousef,

I know why it is bitching. It is cause you are running the stable while
I run the alpha. Meaning in the alpha there not a separate Hash, it is
created from the array. So Try the file I have attached. I think this
should do the trick for you.

Dear Lance and group members,
Once I comment/remove the line
'dir /all nvram:' => "DirSlotN",
rancid can't connect to ANY of my devices, it sends me this E-mail
The following routers have not been successfully contacted for
more than 4 hours.
-rw-r----- 1 rancid netteam 28495 Aug 18 09:00 192.168.10.6
I have attached the rancid file I have, can someone tell me what is
the correct line to comment?
Thanks in advance for your great help...

Yousef,
Just my guess but probably due to some changes that the system is
tracking. I personally ignore the collection of this output. I just
comment out the command.

I'm sorry but which command to commend and where to comment it?
Thanks in advance...
