[rancid] ASA Timeouts

[Todd Heide]

I have a weird problem, on a few ASA devices I get timeouts "clogin
error: Error: TIMEOUT reached", yet from the command I can easily ssh
into the devices, so I know it isn't a connectivity issue. I can login
using the credentials in the .cloginrc file, and use the same setup for
all the PIX/ASA logins save for the IP address, some work, some don't.

Todd,

Have you tried "sudo su - <rancid user>" and then "source
etc/rancid.conf" and then last but not least tried to connect to the
devices after you have all the environmentals?

Yep, trying everything under the rancid user login. When I run
bin/clogin <ipaddress> it doesn't appear to be sending the password in
the .cloginrc file.

I have the entries

Add password {telnetpd} {enablepd}
Add method <ip address> telnet

For the ASA, when I try bin/clogin, it spawns telnet instead of SSH.

Entries are

add autoenable <ip address> 0
add user <ip address> rancid
add cyphertype des
add password <ip address> {passwd} {passwd}
add method <ip address> ssh

I do see updates on some devices, and not on others.

If I just do either a telnet or ssh session under rancid user, I can
connect OK, so I know the user/passwords are OK.

Thanks

OK, here is something else that is weird. I have 4 devices showing up in
Viewvc under a different author, none of these have been updated, and
don't show up in the logs. Where would I find this at?

Thanks

Todd,

Make sure you don't have a * mentioned above those lines.

add method * {telent} {ssh}

I use the above when rancid runs because I have some PIXes that just
don't like expect running ssh from cron.
