[rancid] Problem with "enable"

[Michael Schwartzkopff]

Hi,

I added my switch to cloginrc and to a group.

When i do

clogin <switch>

it stops at the normal ">" prompt and does not switch to enabled mode.

Running rancid the logs tell me:

<switch> End of run not found

Since this is a plain Cisco device I do not really know where to troubleshoot
this problem further. Logging in manually and switching to enables mode does
not show anything unusual from the prompts.

Any idea? Thanks.

Found it out. The banner contained the "#" sign.

Hi. Chek file rancid for the string
" while (/#\s*($cmds_regexp)\s*$/) {|
and if it is - change it for
"while (/[>#]\s*($cmds_regexp)\s*$/) {"

no, fix it so that the login script reaches enable mode, whose prompt ends
with #.
