[rancid] After upgrade rancid works, rancid-run does not work

[Schmidt, Daniel]

Many apologies if somebody has answered this - Rancid has always worked
for me before and I'm new to the list. Any assistance greatly
appreciated.

clogin and rancid work fine after upgrade, given the correct PATH.
clogin logs in correctly, rancid correctly creates a router.new file.
rancid-run does not work. The log is empty and tacacs logs show that it
didn't even try to login.

ending: Wed Oct 28 14:26:21 MDT 2009
***@che-rancid-001:~/var/logs$

Everything seemed to install to the correct location with the following
configure.
./configure --localstatedir=/home/rancid --prefix=/home/rancid

I tried a new rancid.conf including the new CVSROOT commands, but have
not have any luck. Suggestions greatly appreciated!

did routers.up get populated properly? if not, i'm guess is youre on
linux and configure screwed-up figuring out the options to diff.

[Schmidt, Daniel]

Thanks for your suggestion! I am on Linux, however, the contents of
routers.up seem correct. Is there other troubleshooting I can do?

I believe this appears to be a control_rancid bug with inconsistent
capitalization. Possible regression as it seemed to work before.

You've got perl that lowercases everything here:

205 perl -F: -ane '{($F[0] =~ ***@A-***@a-z@,print "$F[0]:$F[1]\n")
206 if ($F[2] =~ /^up$/i);}' routers.db > routers.up.new
207 if [ ! -f routers.up ] ; then touch routers.up; fi
208 diff -U 4 routers.up routers.up.new > /dev/null 2>&1; RUP=$?

So, if somebody uses an uppercase character, it will never match here:

356 # if a device (-r) was specified, see if that device is in this
group
357 if [ "X$device" != "X" ] ; then
358 trap 'rm -fr $TMP $DIR/routers.single;' 1 2 15
359 devlistfile="$DIR/routers.single"
360 grep "^$device:" routers.up > $devlistfile
361 if [ $? -eq 1 ] ; then
362 exit;
363 fi
364 else
365 devlistfile="$DIR/routers.up"
366 fi

It exits, conveniently without any error, at 362.

I implemented a primitive fix to solve my problem.

51 tolower()
52 {
53 local char="$*"
54
55 out=$(echo $char | tr [:upper:] [:lower:])
56 local retval=$?
57 echo "$out"
58 unset out
59 unset char
60 return $retval
61 }

90 device=$(tolower "$1")

I just found out a new project ordered some BNT switches. I don't' have
them yet, but would like to integrate them into rancid. Anyone have
rancid working on these already? What did you set the device type to?

I'd like to get a jump on this before it gets here, so I can get things
going as quick as possible.

They will be running bladeos v1.1.1

Cheers,
Tim Witteveen

thanks for catching that. i think that grep -i is sufficient...for you
silly caps people :)
