[rancid] Cisco WLC error in log

[Dean Searle]

Hi,

I'm trying to get my Cisco 2504 WLC to talk with RANCID. With the help of the posts from here

http://www.shrubbery.net/pipermail/rancid-discuss/2012-March/006254.html

I have been able to get the router.db and .cloginrc setup correctly. I also have included the information into rancid-fe.

Here is the line in router.db
----
172.x.x.x:cisco-wlc5:up
----

.cloginrc
----
add user 172.x.x.x {user}
add autoenable 172.x.x.x 1
add password 172.x.x.x {password} {password}
add method 172.x.x.x ssh
----

If I manually do the following it works great:
----
***@akuma:~$ bin/clogin 172.x.x.x
172.x.x.x
spawn ssh -c 3des -x -l {user} 172.x.x.x

But when I run this:
----
***@akuma:~$ bin/rancid-run -r 172.19.141.30
----

I see this in the log:
----
Trying to get all of the configs.

Getting missed routers: round 1.

I'm not sure what file it couldn't read. If you could point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated. RANCID is a very nice program and has saved my hide a few times.

Thanks in advance!

Cheers,

I figured out my problem.

When I tried to run
----
***@akuma:~$ bin/wlogin -f .clogin 172.x.x.x
": no such file or directory
----

Couldn't figure out what file it wasn't able to find. After combing through the file wlogin I went to save it and noticed this:
----
File Name to Write [DOS Format]: bin/wlogin
----
I tried the same thing with clogin and it did not mention anything about [DOS Format]. So I renamed wlogin to wlogin.old and created a new file, copied the code into the file and tested it out.

It now works. Something must have happened when I scp'd the file to my ubuntu server.

-Cheers
