[rancid] new RANCID code for Vyatta

[Chris Moody]

Apologies if it's bad form on this list to reply to old threads, but I
found this in the discuss archives from just a couple months back and am
hoping to get in touch with the original sender.

If anyone has anything relating to this module, please let me know as
I'm starting work on the same topic and would love to just help improve
upon something already in existence.

Cheers,
-Chris

Anyone out there using Vyatta boxes and wants to put them into RANCID?

Currently, the only people I've seen doing this are using the wrapper
rancid and ssh'ing the config file in themselves.

I'm putting together a more RANCID-like solution that runs Vyatta CLI
commands via non-interactive ssh (requires public key authentication),
and it fetches the running config so you will be able to track unsaved
changes. So far it does this:

show version
show hardware dmi
show hardware pci
show hardware cpu
show configuration commands

If you have a Vyatta and would like to try this out, please email
me off-list. I'll post the code to the list when it stabilizes.

I must have missed the original post, but I'm interested as well.

That would be me.

The code is available to anyone who wants to try it out. I'm not working
with RANCID stuff anymore, so it's not likely to get any further
development unless someone else picks up the work.
