[rancid] blank log files on initial install

[Scott Granados]

This was the exact problem.  I switched to using ; delimiters and it worked great.

Thank you.  Your help was very much appreciated.

I had the same problem when I first upgraded to 3.1 and it took me far too long to find that you need to use a semicolon instead of a colon (a little RTFM and some hair pulling helped) and I experienced the same problem you describe.

Admittedly my previous attempt has been using yum or apt-get to install rancid 2.3.6 but this time I downloaded the source and compiled.  There were no errors during compilation.

However, if I run the clog in command with a router name it logs in fine and drops me in to the network element.  What should I check to diagnose the lack of configs being pulled and the totally empty logs other than the words start and end.  Any pointers would be most appreciated.
