AVAILABILITY
This program has been installed successfully on FreeBSD 2.2.6-RELEASE,
Linux RedHat 4.2, Solaris 2.5.1, IRIX 5.3 and HP/UX 10.20. Feedback
regarding other platforms is welcome.
DESCRIPTIONciscoconfr will retrieve configuration from a Cisco router using
rsh(1), and store it under RCS source control in the directory
/usr/local/share/cisco (this directory was specified on this host at
install time).
Blank lines, comments and other garbage are automagically pruned from
the router configuration to prevent unnecessary RCS deltas being formed
from insignificant changes.
ciscoconfr is intended to be run automatically by ciscoconfd(8) to
maintain a configuration history for multiple routers.
Parameters for ciscoconfr are as follows:
router A router's host name in a format suitable to be passed
to rsh(1)
log-entry A log entry to provide supporting information when
checking the changed configuration in using ci(1)ROUTER CONFIGURATION
The user which ciscologr runs as must be permitted to issue enable com‐
mands to routers using rsh(1). To allow this to happen, some configu‐
ration of the appropriate routers is necessary. The following example
allows the user "jabley" to issue enable-mode commands via rsh from the
host 203.97.2.226:
ip rcmd rsh-enable
ip rcmd remote-host jabley 203.97.2.226 jabley enable
SECURITY
Warning! Do not type these commands into your router without a thor‐
ough understanding of the security implications for your network.

BUGS
If a router's non-volatile RAM is otherwise engaged (e.g. by a "write
mem" issued by an operator, or by a slave-sync in units with multiple
route processors), the configuration retrieved from the router will be
the single line `Non-Volatile memory is in use' .
This should only happen infrequently as long as ciscologr(8) is not run
so often that the instinctive post-configuration "write mem" is always
caught.
Frequency of running ciscologr can be reduced by sensible application
of the -t parameter to ciscologd(8).
