[rancid] OK I'm confused, .cloginrc not working

Discussion:

Seems like something isn't right. I have the same clogin file that has
worked in the past, and I verified that I can ssh, or telnet to these
deices, using the correct username and password combination, but none of
the devices are authenticating, I get "clogin error: Error: Check your
passwd for".

Here is a sampling of my .cloginrc

add password 10.1.3.58 {password} {otherpassword}

add method 10.1.3.58 telnet

add password 10.1.3.59 {password} {otherpassword}

add method 10.1.3.59 telnet

The above is for devices that are not on AAA, and for those on AAA

add user * rancid

add password * {rancidpassword}

add autoenable * 1

I haven't checked against SSH or the ASA's yet, but they worked in the
past also, and have not changed.

add autoenable ip.ip.ip.ip 0

add user ip.ip.ip.ip rancid

add cyphertype des

add password ip.ip.ip.ip {password}
{password}

add method ip.ip.ip.ip ssh

Is there a log file I can look at?

Thanks

Todd

Correction, I found I had ( instead of { for the all else password, so
AAA appears to work, but the individuals are not working still.

try clogin -d hostname

and look for the password exchanges to verify the correct strings are
being sent. my guess would be that you have an unquoted special char
in one of your passwords.

Your problem is that the rancid tools are not in your path. You
either need to envoke clogin fully pathed (ie
/usr/local/rancid/bin/clogin ) or you need to fix your path.

You might want to make sure you understand how unix paths work, as
this is something that will bite you again and again over the coming
years: http://kb.iu.edu/data/acar.html

Yep DOH on my part. I ran it with -d and got an error
Error: Unknown argument! -d

Ran it as bin/clogin -f /usr/local/rancid/.cloginrc hostname, and it
fails to authenticate.

Escape character is '^]'.

Password:

% Authentication failed

Password:
Error: Check your passwd for

Other than the telnet not working as below, I found the AAA one is
working, problem is, CVS or Viewvc doesn't appear to be working. I can
see the new routers from router.db listed as new router, but no new
updates. If I go into the group Core_Routers/configs and cat an entry in
there I can see the config from the router, so it has pulled the configs
at some point, but has not committed them to CVS. Do I need to do
something to get these to commit?

-d is right. if it does not accept it you are not running the latest.
please install 2.3.2a9. then we can talk. Also, actually read what
Chris posted and consider how it relates to the your post.

When I upgrade this, should I do it as rancid user or root? Readme
doesn't particularly say so.

Thanks
