Problem with RANCID on RH 9.0

[Shrimpton, Craig]

Folks,

I've set up RANCID on a RH 9.0 machine and everything appears to work with
the exception of writing the configs it retrieves.  I'm thinking it has
something to do with creating the temp files but I'm not sure.  I can use
clogin to access my router and enter commands.  I can also run rancid
directly and it will create a ".new" file in the rancid/bin directory.
However, running do-diffs produces no output.

While do-diffs is running, I can see the logon process at the router, but I
don't see any temp files created and my config file in CVS remains at zero
bytes.  If anyone has some ideas on how to trouble shoot this, I'd
appreciate it.

I've include to logs below.  The first is created from do-diffs and the
second from running rancid directly. Note that running rancid directly will
create a "burcr05.intergen.com.new" file in the bin directory.

Thanks,

Craig

Here are the results from "do-diffs."  Notice it contains references to
missed commands.  I can run those commands directly from clogin so I'm not
sure about the significance of that error.
