[rancid] Rancid Ignores autoenable for host name but not IP address

[Shane Kavanagh]

All
(are there parameters on the hostname)

I have a problem with Rancid, its ignoring autoenable (and method) for new
hostnames..

Here is running clogin manually for the IP first which works and then
Hostname which does not, also see snip from my .cloginrc

****@gbedub-rancid01:~$ clogin 10.132.50.103*
10.132.50.103

Suddenly rancid cannot talk to one of my routers. Router is a 7206,
just like many others. clogin against this router works fine. A packet
trace shows that all the data gets sent to rancid, even on write term
the routers sends it whole config and rancid sends "exit" after that.



Here is what the logs show. Anyone have any ideas?



The router that doesn't work is called "van-priv1" look for that string
in the logs below.

it seems the device disconnected prematurely, before the exit command
was sent. you should be able to see that in your packet trace. you
can also use clogin -d -c 'list_the_rancid_commands' to help trace it.
also look on the device for errors, such as memory exhaustion or AAA
authorization failures.
