[rancid] Cisco MDS/NX-OS timestamp in show command

Hi List,

I'm running rancid 2.3.6 against a pair of cisco mds fiber switches.
everything works as expected except one little problem. My switches
are printing out a nice little banner with the timestamp whenever show
run is ran.

Obviously this is a problem, and my diffs end up looking like the following.
!
!DEBUG: % Permission denied
!Command: show running-config
- !Time: Tue Mar 15 18:01:13 2011
+ !Time: Tue Mar 15 19:01:13 2011

version 5.0(1a)
no feature http-server

I found the thread in the list archives about suppressing the time
stamp out by editing the DoNothing() command to run no exec prompt
timestamp, but I think that is for a different type of timestamp, as I
made the change but I still get the timestamp. I can't even run no
exec prompt timestamp on the switch either.

Anyone have any experience and/or idea on where I should be focusing
to remove these timestamps?

Thanks!

Toss this into the appropriate place:

/!Time:/ && next;

Get the trailing space out of there and retest please...

I threw the following patterns and it doesn't appear to be able to catch it in the nxrancid 2.3.6 tar release
/^.Time: / && next; # kill this junk
/^!Time: / && next;
/^#Time: / && next;
/!Time: / && next;
!Command: show running-config

Dang, I didn't make sure to reply back to the list...

The end fix for me was what Corey is suggesting.

+ /^!Time:/ && next;

Thanks all!

I removed the trailing space after the colon before the slash. I am still getting the Time line.

- !Time: Wed Mar 16 11:53:28 2011
+ !Time: Wed Mar 16 12:19:52 2011

/^.Time:/ && next; # kill this junk
/^!Time:/ && next;
/^#Time:/ && next;
/!Time:/ && next;

I don't know why this section of code doesn't seem to be hit in the WriteTerm routine within nxrancid.

Thanks,
Daniel

My bad. I had added code to the rancid-fe to use wrappers so that it didn't call nxrancid but some other cisco related module probably plain rancid.
