The device that RANCID is connecting to does not have anything RANCID
related in cron. RANCID logs in to it as a standard user, that user's
environment should be obeyed just like it is when a 'real' user logs
in. The RANCID server has no modifications to it at all, just a device
added to .clogin and router.db.

So to reiterate in case my original post was too long- why does
'rancid' and 'clogin' work but 'rancid-run' doesn't?
