[rancid] error after migrating to new server

Tue Oct 16 15:24:19 UTC 2018

The "file" command says it's an executable image, not a script.

[charlie at gitdrome ~]# file /usr/libexec/rancid/par

/usr/libexec/rancid/par: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.32, BuildID[sha1]=968bbb9325486639b0fd1294bebcfef7c67317ed, stripped

If you've found the correct par (and not one of the other programs of the same name) then like Nick said you need to make sure it's in the PATH of the user executing rancid-run.

Is this a perl/python or something else command?  I think I found the package in Amazon Linux.

Short answer, yes.  But "par" is troublesome.

RANCiD needs a program by that name for "parallel command processing", but the name conflicts with other software packages, particularly on Ubuntu linux as I recall.  I don't know if it conflicts with Amazon's linux.

I renamed it to rancid_par back when I built the Red Hat packages of RANCiD 3.4.1, but I haven't done so in more recent packages because I don't need any of the other programs named "par" on any of my Red Hat boxen.

Recently we have migrated from our in house setup to AWS.  Rancid is installed on Amazon Linux 2, but i'm seeing this issue in the logs:

cat NetworkDevices.20181016.140101
starting: Tue Oct 16 14:01:01 UTC 2018

Trying to get all of the configs.
