Trailing exclamation mark on Cisco ASA serial numbers

Hi all,

I recently upgraded from RANCID 2.3.3 to 2.3.6.

I noticed a bunch of diffs generated on our Cisco ASA firewalls after
a recent collection.

Example:

dale [at] bo:.../firewalls/configs$ cvs diff -D '1 day ago' par-fw01
Index: par-fw01
===================================================================
RCS file:
/usr/local/rancid/var/CVS/firewalls/configs/par-fw01,v
retrieving revision 1.17
retrieving revision 1.18
diff -r1.17 -r1.18
8,9c8
< !Serial Number: JMXXXXXXPQ
< !
---
> !Serial Number: JMXXXXXXPQ!
dale [at] bo:.../firewalls/configs$

Note the exclamation mark ("!") appended to the serial number string.
This does not appear in the command output when entered interactively.

There seem to be a few possible culprits mentioned in the CHANGES file
between 2.3.3 and 2.3.6.

Our ASAs are running software release 7.0(x).

Cheers,
Dale

Look at the full log and see if the exclamation is just not getting a new
line character before it.

I'm seeing the same behavior on multiple versions of versions of 8.x as well.

Re: Trailing exclamation mark on Cisco ASA serial numbers [In reply to]

This also occurs on FWSM configs. I'll bet it is in this section of rancid,
in the ShowVersion function.

/^serial number:\s+(.*)$/i &&
ProcessHistory("COMMENTS","keysort","C1", "!Serial Number: $1")
&&
next;

Note: No newline is appended.

Thanks,
Skye Hagen
