Thank you for taking your time to read about my problem with rancid/cvs. Everything about rancid and clogin seem to work just fine. Except importing into CVS. I have tried to run the commands in the rancid-cvs script manually and i only get an errormessage about: cvs [import aborted]: Only numeric branch specifications with two dots are supported by import, not `1.1.1'. For example: `1.1.1'. I have deleted the directory for my group zzz and run rancid-cvs with the same errormessage. Everything under /usr/local/rancid is owned by the user rancid and the group rancid. I have tried to search on the net, but to no avail. Therefore i turn to you on this mailing list. Probably it is just some stupid error i have made or overlooked , but right now i need help to find my mistake. When i run rancid-cvs, i get the following error messages: cvs [import aborted]: Only numeric branch specifications with two dots are supported by import, not `1.1.1'. For example: `1.1.1'. cvs checkout: cannot find module `zzz' - ignored cvs add: in directory .: cvs [add aborted]: there is no version here; do 'cvs checkout' first cvs commit: Examining configs cvs commit: in directory configs: cvs [commit aborted]: there is no version here; do 'cvs checkout' first cvs add: in directory .: cvs [add aborted]: there is no version here; do 'cvs checkout' first cvs commit: cannot open CVS/Entries for reading: No such file or directory cvs commit: nothing known about `router.db' cvs [commit aborted]: correct above errors first! rancid-cvs creates the directory as it should and when i populate the router.db file, the command "rancid-run bya" will download the config. clogin works like a charm too. My rancid.conf look like this: TERM=network;export TERM TMPDIR=/tmp; export TMPDIR BASEDIR=/usr/local/rancid/var; export BASEDIR PATH=/usr/local/rancid/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/lib:/bin:/usr/bin; export PATH CVSROOT=$BASEDIR/CVS; export CVSROOT LOGDIR=$BASEDIR/logs; export LOGDIR OLDTIME=4; export OLDTIME LIST_OF_GROUPS="zzzA" The cvs-version is : Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.11.19 (client/server) running on SunOS 5.8 Generic_108528-27 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V210 Thank you for your help! -- Rikard From gouldwp at auburn.edu Mon Mar 28 19:32:24 2005 From: gouldwp at auburn.edu (Walter Gould) Date: Mon, 28 Mar 2005 13:32:24 -0600 Subject: Cat1900 == no config Message-ID: Brad, John Heasley worked on this sometime back for me as we have a lot of 1900's here on our campus.

That > is what I do, but the source is a database. If your source keeps track of whether the device is 'up' or 'down' or in 'testing' (unmanaged) state, this will work nicely. Putting anything in that third column in the router.db other than 'up' will suspend collection. When you don't have any concept of whether a device should be managable now (c.f., a 'collect config' flag on the device), you have to treat the devices as up, and you will thus have to expect to more carefully read the 'device down' emails the admin aliases get from RANCID (or ignore them). Since the number of absolute records, even for a large network, is relatively small, your build scripts could quite reasonably run every hour.. -andrew From wcgallar at iupui.edu Tue Mar 29 14:31:27 2005 From: wcgallar at iupui.edu (Chris Gallardo) Date: Tue, 29 Mar 2005 09:31:27 -0500 (EST) Subject: rancid and cisco 1605 routers.

The HP switches use ansi screen controls heavily. That garbage has to be filtered out for rancid. These are of device type hp and use hlogin. you will have to determine the proper device type from the description above. If you still have failures, then please provide a transcript of a login, eg: hlogin sw_name if you are using linux or solaris and logins are successful, but you still get hangs, see the expect patch (hack) on the rancid web page.

Please do not contact them about issues related to RancidSVN. They won't help you. Maybe in the future my integrated version may be merged into the RANCID code, but until such time it is not supported by them. ***END DISCLAIMER*** I've gotten quite a few emails on the status of my RancidSVN project. It is quite alive and well. I'm working on a version that integrates with 2.3.1 and allows the option of using either subversion or CVS as your backend, but that version is still highly experimental and I'm not releasing public versions at this time. The original RancidSVN is fully available however. It is a drop-in replacement for RANCID can be viewed or checked out via Subversion at http://svn.dastylinrastan.com/rastan/rancidSVN. To obtain the source, use the following command or a Subversion Client: # svn export http://svn.dastylinrastan.com/rastan/rancidSVN And compile just like RANCID. If you already have the RANCID 2.3.1 sources, a patch can be downloaded here: http://svn.dastylinrastan.com/rastan/rancidSVN/RancidSVN-2.3.1.patch This patch is applied with patch -p1. The drop-in replacement works *exactly* like the CVS-based rancid. You use the exact same commands (including rancid-cvs to create a repository), but everything behind the scenes is done in Subversion instead of CVS. While I would still classify this release as beta, I've been running several systems using it for about 6 months and haven't come across any issues. ***BIG HUGE GINORMOUS DISCLAIMER*** Do NOT try to use with an existing RANCID CVS repository. It will not convert your repository over. While it probably won't cause any damage, it will make your CVS repository look messy. You should, however, be able to convert an existing repository over with cvs2svn, and it should work just fine (thats what I did with mine). ***END DISCLAIMER*** Only locally-hosted subversion repositories are supported out-of-the-box. (i.e. accessible via file://). This is primarily to retain compatibility with the existing rancid configuration files. You can easily modify it to work with http, svn, svn+ssh, and all other subversion targets. If you have any problems, feel free to contact me and I'll do my best to help :). __________________________ Justin Grote Network Architect JWG Networks
