[rancid] Permissions and files

Thu Sep 12 17:48:28 UTC 2013

Ok, I have changed the ownership. I made a test config change on a device, ran rancid and exactly the same as:
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

So, the config change doesn’t show.

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

/usr/lib/rancid/bin/control_rancid: 206: /usr/lib/rancid/bin/control_rancid: cannot create routers.db: Permission denied

Fix that. chown -R rancid /var/rancid
