OK, thank you guys for your help. Fortunately I've installed Rancid
(with http://openmaniak.com/rancid_tutorial.php help) on cygwin but
now facing next problem - can't login into any device using clogin. I
can ping, telnet/ssh to any device from my test environment, but
Rancid can not. Always happens nothing, just like that:
Administrator@backup /home/rancid
$ /home/rancid/bin/clogin 10.1.1.4
Administrator@backup /home/rancid
I guess I have correct statements in my .cloginrc and router.db files:
add method 10.1.1.4 telnet
add user 10.1.1.4 username
add password 10.1.1.4 password enablePassword
And:
10.1.1.4:cisco:up
Can anyone help with that? I'm not sure if it's cygwin or only-rancid issue.
Regards,
jh
