[rancid] clogin: not found

Hi all,

I try to migrate my existing rancid-2.3.8 installation to a new host with Ubuntu 12.04. I downloaded ftp://ftp.shrubbery.net/pub/rancid/rancid-2.3.8.tar.gz and installed it to /usr/local/rancid. I copied the .cloginrc and rancid.conf to the new host and wanted to test with a new router.db first, containing only 6 HP Procurve switches (switchname:hp:up). I can login successfully to each switch with "bin/clogin switchname" and I also tried "bin/hlogin -f .cloginrc -c "show version" switchname" which gives me a "no page" output first, but then the version and a completed logout.

But executing "bin/rancid switchname" results in the following:
sh: 1: clogin: not found
switchname: missed cmd(s): dir /all slavedisk2:,show rsp chassis-info,show capture,dir /all sec-slot2:,show diag,dir:
switchname: End of run not found
!

I found this existing thread http://www.shrubbery.net/pipermail/rancid-discuss/2008-November/003404.html but however I don't know what to do exactly to solve the problem.

Any suggestions would be appreciated

You probably do not have /usr/local/bin in your PATH when that command
is run.
The rancid devs (in common with the majority of software out there)
assume that since PATH is completely user-selectable, that you know how
to set and use it, so doesn't bother much with documenting it.

Please log in as the rancid user and post theoutput of:

which clogin
echo $PATH

Hello John,

thanks for your help. After adding /usr/local/rancid/bin to the PATH, that error is gone and I went on to executing bin/rancid-run. Now I see these errors in the rancid-run logfile:

Trying to get all of the configs.

swledv05: End of run not found

invoked from within
"run_commands $prompt $command"

invoked from within
"foreach router [lrange $argv $i end] {
set router [string tolower $router]
send_user "$router\n"

# device timeout
set timeout [find t..."
(file "/usr/local/rancid/bin/hlogin" line 615)

I use the same entries in my router.db as on my old machine, but on the old system I don't get any errors in my logfile. For the "parentheses" error I found this thread (http://www.shrubbery.net/pipermail/rancid-discuss/2010-June/004987.html), but my hlogin already contains the mentioned line.

Mana

The rancid bin dir is not hardcoded in *login, it uses and inherits your PATH, or rancid.conf's in the case of rancid-run.

Would you tell me the version of expect that you have? what the device's
prompt is? and does clogin work with your cisco/etc devices?

The regex is the same in clogin. it reduces the prompt match so that -x and
-c can deal with prompts that change, like they do between cli & config modes
on cisco.

I think it could be reduced to:

regsub -all {^(.{1,11}).*([#>])$} $reprompt {\1([^#>\r\n]+)?[#>]} reprompt

eliminating the stuff for the (enable)-junk in Catalyst-like prompts:
foo#(enable)
but hlogin is also used for AGM modules and SMC/Dell. I no longer have AGMs,
but do not recall them having this type prompt. Going by stuff others have
posted about SMC/Dell, I don't think it would affect those either.

That said, I do not know why it would fail for you, but work for my ciscos
and HPs.

Hello John,

I have expect 5.45. In my .cloginrc these switches are configured for autoenable, manually connecting with bin/clogin or bin/hlogin sets me to Enable-Prompt (hostname#).
I don't have too many Cisco devices, some only support telnet, these work perfectly. With those that support ssh I have a different problem, as I am unable to login whatsoever by "ssh ***@hostname". I suppose there's an openssh issue as the debug information says:

debug1: Local version string SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_5.9p1 Debian-5ubuntu1.4
debug2: fd 3 setting O_NONBLOCK
debug3: load_hostkeys: loading entries for host "hostname" from file "/usr/local/rancid/.ssh/known_hosts"
debug3: load_hostkeys: loaded 0 keys
debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEXINIT sent
Read from socket failed: Connection reset by peer

Regards
Mana

I only have an 2524 and debian with expect 5.45. I can not reproduce the
traceback. if it fails when you run the commands manually, I might be
able to find the problem if you send (to me, not the list, please) the
output of running it with expect debuggin. z.b.:

hlogin -d -t 90 -c'show version;show flash;show system-information;show system information;show module;show stack;show tech transceivers;show config files;show config status;write term' hostname 2>& debugoutput

Yes, probably a problem with the server. try -l.
