[rancid] Release Authorised RANCID Email Issue

[Hinote, Scotty (MSFC-IS40)[NICS]]

Hi Scott,

You should be executing the rancid-run command as the rancid user and not as root. The error message states that it cannot find a .cloginrc file in root's directory. You can su - rancid then execute rancid-run which should successfully backup your devices or produce another error in the logs.

Regards,
Scotty

Hi,
I am looking in the /usr/local/rancid/var/logs/networking.... file  and I am seeing this error could not read /root/.cloginrc no such file or directory.
How can I correct this?  I believe this is why I am not seeing anything in the config files.
Any suggestions is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Scott
