If there is no rancid process running, then you can just delete the 
lockfile.  I occasionally found that sometimes if you rancid-run from the 
CLI then ^C to kill it quickly, it won't clear up the lockfile.

If once you've tidied up and let it run again the lockfile re-appears and 
rancid doesn't complete properly, you'll need to look into why it is 
taking so long.  If you can identify which device, try running in debug 
mode which might give some clues.
