Andy, not sure how many changes you've made to rancid.conf, but the CVS directory in my pretty stock install is in /usr/local/rancid/var/ along with all of my group directories, not in /usr/local/rancid/

I've already got this in rancid.conf

# list of rancid groups
LIST_OF_GROUPS="networking"

And when I run /usr/local/rancid/bin/rancid-cvs I get no output.

[rancid at router ~]$ /usr/local/rancid/bin/rancid-cvs
[rancid at router ~]$

[rancid at router ~]$ echo $BASEDIR

[rancid at router ~]$ pwd
/usr/local/rancid
[rancid at router ~]$ ls -l
total 60
drwxr-xr-x 2 rancid netadm  4096 Mar  6 17:26 bin
drwxr-xr-x 2 rancid netadm  4096 Mar  7 09:04 etc
-rw-r--r-- 1 rancid netadm 12738 Mar  6 17:22 README
drwxr-xr-x 4 rancid netadm  4096 Mar  6 17:13 share
drwxr-xr-x 3 rancid netadm  4096 Oct 26 21:51 tar
drwxr-xr-x 5 rancid netadm  4096 Mar  6 17:21 var

I believe there should be a CVS directory in there. I did install CVS after rancid so I guess that may have caused the issue. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Andy

I expect you either forgot to update rancid.conf so that it reads:

 LIST_OF_GROUPS="networking"

Or you already did rancid-cvs?

Emne: [rancid] Rancid CVS Issue

Hi,

I've just installed rancid on one of my boxes following the guide here.

http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/wiki/index.php/Quick_HOWTO_:_Ch1_:_Network_Backups_With_Rancid

However, when I run the rancid-cvs command, I get no output.

[rancid at router ~]$ /usr/local/rancid/bin/rancid-cvs
[rancid at router ~]$

When as per the docs I should be getting this.




[rancid at bigboy ~]$ /usr/local/rancid/bin/rancid-cvs
No conflicts created by this import
cvs checkout: Updating networking
cvs checkout: Updating networking/configs
cvs add: scheduling file `router.db' for addition
cvs add: use 'cvs commit' to add this file permanently
RCS file: /usr/local/rancid//var/CVS/networking/router.db,v
done
Checking in router.db;
/usr/local/rancid//var/CVS/networking/router.db,v   <--   router.db
initial revision: 1.1
done


CVS is already installed so no issues there,

[rancid at router ~]$ rpm -qa | grep cvs
cvs-1.11.22-7.el5


Just wondering if anyone had come across this or know what the next steps were?

Cheers,
Andy
