I copied the .cloginrc and rancid.conf to the new host and wanted to test with a new router.db first, containing only 6 HP Procurve switches (switchname:hp:up). I can login successfully to each switch with "bin/clogin switchname" and I also tried "bin/hlogin -f .cloginrc -c "show version" switchname" which gives me a "no page" output first, but then the version and a completed logout.

You probably do not have /usr/local/bin in your PATH when that command
is run.
The rancid devs (in common with the majority of software out there)
assume that since PATH is completely user-selectable, that you know how
to set and use it, so doesn't bother much with documenting it.

Please log in as the rancid user and post theoutput of:

which clogin
echo $PATH
