hlogin timeout

Hello guys,

I'm trying to backup HP Procurve switches.
Model I tried are : HP-2610, HP-2810 and HP-2510

To debug i try the following command :

sudo -u rancid /var/lib/rancid/bin/hlogin -c "show version" HP-2610

I always block at the HP UI :

Copyright (C) 1991-2009 Hewlett-Packard Co. All Rights Reserved.

RESTRICTED RIGHTS LEGEND

[...]

Press to key to ctntieue

The hlogin return Error: TIMEOUT reached

I am running Debian Squeeze with rancid 2.3.3-1 (official package)

Is that a bug from this rancid version ?

Thanks in advance

Hugo

Hello John,

thank you for the information.
I'll have a look for the latest rancid version.

When i deployed RANCID, i found that forgetting to set autoenable on
ProCurve switches resulted in very similar behaviour. Check that you
have it set. I found that using the patch for expect was not necessary
in my case.

true, but given the mangling in the output that he provided, i'm about
99% sure its their libc change for wide characters.

thats probably luck of the timing.

Or bug in rancid 2.3.3
"Missing hpuifilter in hlogin"

Look for subject
"[rancid] Re: Rancid stopped working for my HP switches"
from 04/03/2010
and/or
[rancid] SSH issues "couldn't compile regular expression pattern:
parentheses () not balanced
from 06/23/2010
