That howto looks like something from Joe Random Blogger. It's suspect.<br>
It also references rancid 2.3.2, which is ancient.<br>
<br>
Current version is 3.2, and the first problem you are going to run into<br>
is the change in format of router.db<br>
<br>
Don't use that howto.<br>
<br>
Install rancid using any normal method (rpm, yum, tarball - the method<br>
does not matter) and then follow the text files supplied by rancid itself.<br>
<br>
Have you run newaliases since editing /etc/aliases?<br>
