Re: [rancid] how cisco nx-os switch work with rancid with read-only account

What if you delete these commands:

role name rancid
    rule 1 permit read
    rule 2 permit command show *
    

and re-define your username command as:

username ro password XXX role network-operator


if you're on the CLI, "show role" will show you the pre-defined roles.  See here for documentation.

Using default / pre-defined roles, you don’t need to craft a role specifically for rancid.  Unless you're concerned about a rogue user logging in with stolen credentials and having access to "show" commands you don't want to allow.

Subject: [rancid] how cisco nx-os switch work with rancid with read-only account

    i have a read access account "RO" in nexus 3048, and i add it to
    .cloginrc file like that:
    add method 10.36.0.71 {ssh}
    add cyphertype * aes128-ctr,aes128-cbc,3des-cbc
    add user 10.36.0.71 ro
    add password 10.36.0.71 XXX
    add noenable 10.36.0.71 1
    
    however, rancid log give me:
    10.36.0.71: End of run not found
    Error: TIMEOUT reached
    
    But, if i give my account full read&write permission, It works just fine.
    Hope someone could help me here, thx a lot
    
    PS:nexus config
    role name rancid
    rule 1 permit read
    rule 2 permit command show *
    username ro password XXX role rancid
