[rancid] Permissions and files

Thu Sep 12 16:58:10 UTC 2013

Just for clarity (and thanks for the assistance) what should be the permissions on the directories in /var/lib/rancid where the routers.db reside? The same 600?

Hi Ryan,

You should have permissions set to 600 on .cloginrc.

Well, I was attempting to run as rancid. I don't know how it would run "normally".

Here is what I show:

-rwxr-x---  1 rancid rancid 1946 Sep  6 15:57 .cloginrc

I think that is chmod 750 .cloginrc (now). Would I make it something different?

The .cloginrc doesn't have the proper permissions set for the rancid user. Or are you running it as someone else?

Mine is

-rw-rw----. 2 apache rancid 4429 Aug 27 10:12 .cloginrc

I tend to login as the rancid user,  sudo su - rancid   for testing purposes, since I disallow ssh login to the server for any user except normal users...

I don't know where to go on this. I can't tell if my Rancid configuration is even working. I'm at the point of testing rancid-run manually to see what happens. I am getting a combination of "Permission Denied" errors on the .cloginrc file, "End of Run Not found" errors, and some others that I excerpted below. That said, I have an example of the file in /var/log/rancid from today and from Friday:

sudo -i su -c /var/lib/rancid/bin/rancid-run -s /bin/bash -l rancid

gets me:

starting: Thu Sep 12 10:53:28 EDT 2013

ending: Thu Sep 12 10:53:28 EDT 2013
