[rancid] Can't update router.db

Tue Sep 26 13:42:27 UTC 2017

Looks like there is only one group and the permissions look correct to me.

[root at observium /]# cd /var/rancid/
[root at observium rancid]# ls
logs  observium  SVN
[root at observium rancid]# cd logs
[root at observium logs]# ls
[root at observium logs]# cd ..
[root at observium rancid]# cd observium/
[root at observium observium]# ls
configs  old  router.db  routers.all  routers.down  routers.up
[root at observium observium]# ls -l
total 16
drwxr-x---. 2 rancid rancid   24 Sep 22 11:41 configs
drwxrwxr-x. 2 rancid rancid   75 Sep 22 11:05 old
-rw-rw----. 1 rancid rancid 2069 Sep 22 10:48 router.db
-rw-r-----. 1 rancid rancid 1719 Sep 22 11:25 routers.all
-rw-r-----. 1 rancid rancid    1 Sep 22 11:25 routers.down
-rw-r-----. 1 rancid rancid 1718 Sep 22 11:25 routers.up
[root at observium observium]#

It doesn't work at all anymore.  I found this at the end of the logs:

rancid observium hung on observium.gvsd.ca?  Old lockfile still exists:
-rw-r-----. 1 rancid rancid 0 Sep 22 11:25 /tmp/.observium.run.lock
