BTW, excuse me for this ill mailer called Lotus Notes ...
It makes quoting impossible and creates funny characters :-/
Because running a tftp server is insecure
Even if you secure it with tcp_wrapper there remain still risks
- permissions of config files have to be 666, otherwise
you can%t write the file on the tftpserver
- so other users may delete the files
- There is a chance to overwrite the wrong file especially
when using tftp with Cisco Catalyst 5xxx switches, which doesn%t
offer you a default config name "name-confg". You have to
type the complete filename in.
So it might be possible, to overwrite the wrong config.
Well, therefore I want to introduce rcp and Cisco Router can do this
since a long time and Catalyst 5K switches can do it since 5.2 release.
I need the logout feature to copy the config to a backup file with a time stamp
in it. So this would be event triggered. Otherwise I had to do a script, that
runs
periodically and would have to check over 1000 machines....
This is a wastage of CPU cycles and you would have to make a compromise
by running it at a time intervall of which you think that it catches even
changes,
that come in a relatively short sequence....
So rcp is the way to go and it would be cool, if a .logout could be executed.
Or a new file .cshrcexit should be added....
So than you%d have for interactive logins:
.login
.logout
And for simply shells
.cshrc
.cshrcexit

Frankly, it's news to me that Ciscos support rcp (do they?). Why don't
you just save the config using tftp?
cisco# copy run tftp
The man pages tell you all about tftp, but it's basically just a matter of
uncommenting it in inetd, HUPing inetd, then
mkdir /tftpboot
touch /tftpboot/cisco-confg
