[rancid] script itself runs - rancid-run: Couldn't login

[Wiethoff, Helge]

Hi all,

I programmed a login script and a "rancid-script" for the previously unsupported device type Microsens G6 based on xilogin+xirancid. My msg6login uses .cloginrc for automated username+password input.

"msg6rancid x-sw1k25.tfhbomgmt.de " works great and writes the correct config file to x-sw1k25.tfhbomgmt.de.new

I declared the new device typ in my rancid.types.conf:
#MicrosensG6
msg6;login;msg6login
msg6;script;msg6rancid

and added a device to my router.db:
x-sw1k25.tfhbomgmt.de;msg6;up

when running rancid-run, i can't login and get the following in the log:
x-sw1k25.tfh-bochum.de: missed cmd(s): all commands
x-sw1k25.tfh-bochum.de msg6login error: Error: Couldn't login: x-sw1k25.tfh-bochum.de
x-sw1k25.tfh-bochum.de: End of run not found

Did i miss something obvious? A env variable or something? Or is the reason in my msg6login as a i get this error inside an expect-block with EOF.


Cheers,
Helge

Hi,

I see x.tfhbomgmt.de and x.tfh-bochum.de in your post. Maybe one works and
the other does not? Are you maybe developing on one machine and running
rancid itself on another? -> firewall issues?

I suppose you are running all commands as the rancid user, even when calling
them manually?

Bye,

Marki

Hi,

the problem was the unset env(TERM) variable. After I added the declaration of the variable in the rancid script (as with zrancid) it works.

Thanks to heasley!

cheers,
helge
