E.g. if it’s a permissions error, the strace(8) output may show you the EPERM error message, and if you look carefully, the path to the file in question. Generally speaking, the strace/ktrace/truss/etc. output will show a failure somewhere in the later part of RANCID’s execution that you can use as a starting point.<br clear="none"><br clear="none">what did you find to be missing?
