[rancid] Permissions and files

Thu Sep 12 18:47:15 UTC 2013

Ok, so since I'm following various guides (mostly the "Ubuntu server install), I am assuming that the command is /usr/bin/rancid-run.

rancid at ObserviumNYC:/var/log/rancid$ vi MVSNetwork.20130912.144417
gives me:
starting: Thu Sep 12 14:44:17 EDT 2013

ending: Thu Sep 12 14:44:17 EDT 2013

what happens when you just run it as the rancid user?

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

VS:

Fix that. chown -R rancid /var/rancid
