[rancid] Possible CVS errors......

[Greg McIntyre]

Hello All

I am using Red Hat for my OS and I downloaded the latest version of rancid.  I installed rancid via these instructions:
http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/wiki/index.php/Quick_HOWTO_:_Ch1_:_Network_Backups_With_Rancid#.Vqo6_PkrJQI


I can connect to devices but the configs do not download.  This is the error message I receive in the logs.

starting: Wed Jan 27 14:59:42 CST 2016



cvs remove: cannot open CVS/Entries for reading: No such file or directory
cvs remove: nothing known about `stores'
cvs commit: cannot open CVS/Entries for reading: No such file or directory

I ran the rancid-cvs command per the instructions but unlike the instructions I did not receive any output so I do not know if it errored.  It did create some of the directories though.

When I do a LS -lha under the CVS directory this is what I see.

drwxrwxr-x. 3 rancid netadm   20 Jan 21 13:30 .
drwxr-xr-x. 5 rancid netadm   44 Jan 21 13:30 ..
drwxrwxr-x. 3 rancid netadm 4.0K Jan 21 13:30 CVSROOT

What am I doing wrong?

Thank you in advance for your help!!
