Post by Elliott, AndrewI think we were able to find the problem.
The routers have very large configurations and when I ran jlogin
manually, I saw that it was timing out about 90% of the way
through

I think you have some other problem and this fix is going to fail

What do you mean by 'timed out'? did it hang? did jlogin/expect
exit

timeout error? if you run the command manually,
NOPIPE=YES; export NOPIPE
jlogin -c 'show version;...' host
what is at the end of the host.raw file?
Jlogin just hangs until it times out.
The log shows the following for each of the routers that are
failing(I
Are you using Linux or Solaris and haven't applied the expect patch
available on the rancid website?
Have you tried the cmdline?

Yes, I have been running it from the command line.
The -d switch is failing for me:

Due to specific restrictions within the organization, I will have an
extremely difficult time getting approval for the patched version of
expect to be compiled. Is the issue still present in 5.43? I would
have a much easier time getting the expect upgraded to the latest
official version than getting a patched one installed.
