PFsense 2.1.1 with RANCID

brg810

Hi.

I need assistance in setting up RANCID to backup my PFSense firewalls running 2.1.1.

I tried following this guide but it fails with the error message below: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=54029.0

Trying to get all of the configs.

I created a rancid user on my pfsense box, downloaded the rancid-compat file, updated my .tcshrc file with the following:

set prompt="%{\033[0;1;33m%}[%{\033[0;1;37m%}`cat /etc/version`%{\033[0;1;33m%}]%{\033[0;1;33m%}%B[%{\033[0;1;37m%}%n%{\033[0;1;31m%}@%{\033[0;1;37m%}%M%{\033[0;1;33m%}]%{\033[0;1;32m%}%b%/%{\033[0;1;33m%}(%{\033[0;1;37m%}%h%{\033[0;1;33m%})%{\033[0;1;36m%}%{\033[0;1;31m%}:%{\033[0;0;0m%} "

set prompt="pfsense# "
set autologout="0"
set autolist set color set colorcat
setenv CLICOLOR "true"
setenv LSCOLORS "exfxcxdxbxegedabagacad"

exec /home/rancid/bin/rancid-compat
exit 0

My router.db file looks like this:

10.22.0.2:cisco:up

===

The tail end of my .cloginrc file looks like this. I created a rancid user for the rest of my network equipment and RANCID works fine for them, but it fails on PFSense.

CMHOME

add autoenable 10.22.0.2 1
add noenable 10.22.0.2
add method 10.22.0.2 {ssh}
add user * rancid
add identity * $env(HOME)/.ssh/id_rsa

add password * blah
add user * rancid
add method * {ssh}
add identity * $env(HOME)/.ssh/id_rsa

I also tried (without the changes above) using the contrib packages (from ftp://ftp.shrubbery.net/pub/rancid/contrib/) and changing my device type in my router.db file to "m0n0", changing my local prompt on the pfsense FW to "pfsense# ", to no avail. I get a blank config file with the following in my logs:
