I'm attempting to set up the dell extension found at
http://www.rickyninja.net/rancid/

Everything seems to work fine when logging in with dlogin:

$ sudo -u www /opt/local/libexec/rancid/dlogin -autoenable -u Engineer -p
<snip> -c "show version" 10.13.8.1
10.13.8.1
spawn telnet 10.13.8.1
Trying 10.13.8.1...
Connected to 10.13.8.1.
Escape character is '^]'.

HW version 00.01.64
TW-G-6024-1#eConnection closed by foreign host.

However, when I set up cloginrc:

#CTX
add autoenable 10.13.* 1
add method 10.13.* telnet
add password 10.13.* Engineer <snip>

and router.db:

10.13.8.1:dell:up

It doesn't seem to work when running rancid manually:

$ sudo -u www /opt/local/bin/rancid-run GROUP -r 10.13.8.1

Trying to get all of the configs.
opened network stream from 10.13.8.1 if () at
/opt/local/libexec/rancid/drancid line 266.
found_end = 0, clean_run = 0
10.13.8.1 dlogin error: Error: Connection closed (telnet): 10.13.8.1
10.13.8.1: missed cmd(s): show version,show running-config,show vlan
10.13.8.1: End of run not found
!

The error in the log isn't really revealing.

I installed rancid from macports, this is in the header of rancid-run:

## $Id: rancid-run.in,v 1.30 2004/03/12 23:17:28 heas Exp $

I really appreciate any support/ideas/help anyone can offer to help figure
this out.

What happens if you run dlogin from the command line with a switch
command that will produce more than a page of output? Try dlogin with
the show running-config command (assuming there's more than one page of
ocnfig), and let me know if it hangs.

Good question.

It pages through it w/out error or problem.

Any other ideas?

Engineer -p <snip> -c "show version" 10.13.8.1

I would try dlogin -c "show version,show running-config,show vlan"

That way you are running the same commands as rancid would be running.

Using a semicolon as the deliminator caused running the dlogin script
manually to work. Its still not working when called from rancid-run though.

I did find something in the log file that reveals the problem:

unknown router manufacturer for a1.aus: dell

So... I'm guessing this is because I didn't install drancid/dlogin
correctly. How do I let rancid-run know about the newly installed
manufacturer (and corresponding scripts)?

I didn't realize that is how logind takes arguments. When I tested,
TW-G-6024-1# show version,show running-config,show vlan
% Unrecognized command
So... is this exactly how rancid is calling dlogin?
If so, I'm guessing I need to look at how to do a "s/,/\n/g" on the -c
argument of dlogin ?

I would try dlogin -c "show version,show running-config,show vlan"

-c "show version;show running-config;show vlan"
the separator is ';', not ','.

Your rancid-fe is missing the dell manufacturer. Edit rancid-fe and add
the following line:

elsif ($vendor =~ /^dell$/i) { exec('drancid', $router); }

Using a semicolon as the deliminator caused running the dlogin script
manually to work. Its still not working when called from rancid-run
though.

Do the SMC scripts work for these switches? some of the dell switches
are SMC OEMs.

I tried to google this error but I am not seeing any results so I
apologize if this is one of those regular questions.

Has anyone ran into this? Running 2.3.2a9 figured I might try 2.3.2a10
to see if this would fix the issue.

-bash-3.2$ ./hlogin hp5308-b6-1.pelco.org
hp5308-b6-1.pelco.org
spawn hpuifilter -- ssh -c 3des -x -l suser hp5308-b6-1.pelco.org

Error: ssh failed: couldn't execute "hpuifilter": no such file or
directory

Hp5308-b6-1.pelco.org:hp:up correctly configured in router.db

Clogin works without issue with cisco. I have my passwords in .cloginrc
when I read the hlogin man page it sends me to clogin so I don't know if
I did the hp setup properly for rancid.

fix your PATH to include whatever dir has this program
