[rancid] rancid failing login to cisco switches

[Cuttler, Brian (HEALTH)]

Thank you.

It was a couple of things, the add user *, and the add password *.

Also, since we had (mandated to) a change of switch names and IP numbers, I copied the new switch names out of the scripts that updated the switches and they were all in uppercase, and where not found by the clogin script when it scanned the .cloginrc file.

Those problems have all been corrected.

I did try to add a new group, unsuccessfully.

I added the new group to the /etc/rancid/rancid.conf file, created a new directory, a new router.db, but I'm not finding the information via CVSWEB nor do I have CVS archives of the data.

CVS home is /home/rancid/CVS, where I do see directories for my groups. I also see CVS directories in each group directory as well as the configs/CVS directories. These are not links (well, not softlinks). I'm missing something basic here, but not quite certain what.

Thank you,
Brian

.cloginrc is read strictly in order so if you have "add user * joe" at the very top, it will be used everywhere.

Check the ordering of .loginrc as step one.

Step 2 is to run clogin manually and check the output
