[rancid] Incomplete output

[Justin Lambert]

I am trying to set up rancid and must be missing something simple. This is a manual run with clogin using expect 5.43 compiled with the expect-hack1. Destination switch is a Cisco 3020 (blade chassis switch).

~$ clogin -t 90 -c"show running-config write term""

The output I get for both commands is:
Building configuration...

Current configuration : 159 bytes
!
! Last configuration change at 18:07:19 EDT Wed Jul 9 2008 by jlambert
! NVRAM config last updated at 13:40:03 EDT Wed Jul 9 2008 by jlambert
!
!
!
!
!
end


I tried adding 'terminal length 0' to the start of the clogin command hoping maybe that would be sufficient to print out the whole config without hanging on a 'more', but to no avail. I ran expect -d <....> and didn't see anything in the output that looked wrong. Is this related to the expect issues that for some reason are still manifesting itself on my machine? I have tried this on my gentoo machine and on a CentoOS 5.2 machine.

Thanks,
Justin

Are you sure you are getting logged into the device with the appropriate
privilege level?



What if you just use ./clogin devicename does it give you an enable
prompt, and if so can you execute the show run command then manually
from the prompt it gives you?

That is exactly what it was. Even though I had given that privilege level rights to the show running-config and write term command you are only able to see what you can modify. It looks like with TACAS+ I could set a user to read only, but for now had to just change the user rancid uses to priv level 15.

Thanks for pointing out the obvious.
