[rancid] Error when trying to back up a JunOS device, SRX100

[Doug Hughes]

It's highly unlikely that this is your problem, but this command has a
whole lot of extra shell startup redundancy in it:

“sudo su -c /var/lib/rancid/bin/rancid-run -s /bin/bash -l rancid”

You can skip using sudo to call su, sudo can do that, and you don't need
to call bash again either.

This should do it for you:

sudo -u rancid -Hl /var/lib/rancid/bin/rancid-run
