[rancid] mtlogin script error

[Michael W. Lucas]

Hi,

Following the newest RouterOS upgrades, RANCID is having trouble
getting router info.

If I try a single command with clogin -c"command" hostname, the
connection works, but the logout fails. "exit" is no longer a valid
logout command on RouterOS; only "quit" works.

Is there a way to easily switch the logout command?

I've appended my clogin output below. The "mikrotiklogin.sh" script is just:

#!/bin/sh
exec ssh -p 2222 $@

Thanks,
==ml

% clogin -t 15 -c"system license print" barn
barn
spawn /usr/local/scripts/microtiklogin.sh -c 3des -x -l admin+ct barn
admin+***@barn.lodden.com's password:

Really easy - in the bottom of the rancid perl code - main loop -
you'll see where it checks for exit - change that to quit!

You will need to change similar entries in the login expect script.

Cheers

the original from Chris Boot that is in the current dist already uses
quit.

Hi

Not that I can really help with this issue directly, but I've recently
written a post covering another method for using Rancid with Mikrotik
routers. You can find it here:
