Good observation, I was creating it using winscp, now I nanoed it and the
log file produced:
export HOME="/"

export LANG="en_US.utf8"

export LOGNAME="rancid"

export MAILTO="root"

export OLDPWD

export PATH="/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin"

export PWD="/"

export SHELL="/bin/bash"

export SHLVL="2"

export USER="rancid"

export _="/tmp/test2.sh"

Well it didn't run because when I su rancid and execute:
/root $ /tmp/test.sh

bash: /tmp/test.sh: /bin/sh^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

running: sh /tmp/test.sh

produces  a log file with the following content:

/root

How to fix the script?

 


If there really is a ^M on the first line of the script then that suggests
it was created with "DOS" line endings. What are you using to edit files? I
can imagine that unexpected DOS line endings will cause the various
components of RANCID to fail in unexpected ways.
