[rancid] Changed IP Addresses

[Kerry Cox]

I recently reconfigured my internal network and gave my C3750G core switch an IP address of 10.10.0.1. This was formerly used by the inside port of my firewall.
However, whenever I now attempt to have rancid connect to this new IP address, if pukes when changing to enable mode.

$ clogin 10.10.0.1
10.10.0.1
spawn ssh -c 3des -x -l rancid 10.10.0.1
Password:
C3750G-CORE>enable
Password:
% Access denied
C3750G-CORE>
Error: Check your Enable passwd
C3750G-CORE>exit

However, when I do a simple login from my Linux server, it connects with no problem. The enable password works just fine.

$ ssh ***@10.10.0.1
Password:
C3750G-CORE>en
Password:
C3750G-CORE#

And when I manually enter the enable password it also works from the rancid CLI.
I have already confirmed my .cloginrc settings are correct.

$ clogin 10.10.0.1
10.10.0.1
spawn ssh -c 3des -x -l rancid 10.10.0.1
Password:
C3750G-CORE>enable # run by rancid
Password:
% Access denied
C3750G-CORE>
Error: Check your Enable passwd
C3750G-CORE>en # run manually by myself
Password:
C3750G-CORE#

Does rancid cache settings some place? I have reset the enable password on the switch and have confirmed all the settings are good.
Ideas? Suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Heh, found the issue. I still had the older entry in my .cloginrc file way far at the top of the file (managing a ton of network devices).
As I pointed out in my 1st post, I changed the IP address of the inside port of my firewall to now be the switch IP address. I forgot to remove the original inside IP address for my firewall, so it was reading this first before getting to the section on switches.
My bad. Should have gone through the entire file. :-( That'll teach me.
Thanks much for the help.

Understood. I was already aware of that and I have been using braces { } around my enable password and well as my regular login. I only have a $ symbol in the password.
But, this same password works just fine elsewhere on other Cisco 3750G devices. I have even changed the password and tested manually. The updated .cloginrc file still complains.
Caching the older data somplace, perhaps?

that should be {blah\$}

see cloginrc(5) wrt meta characters in your password.
