If you SSH from your rancid server to the device that you are trying to backup as the rancid user that you have configured and execute a show running-config, do you receive any errors?

OK, so now those permissions are fixed, I assume. That said, I still get nothing in that file when I just "rancid-run".

Ok,
I got you. Seems everything in /var/lib/rancid/bin is root:

rancid at ObserviumNYC:/var/log/rancid$ cd /var/lib/rancid/bin/
rancid at ObserviumNYC:/var/lib/rancid/bin$ ls -lt
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 67004 Mar  5  2012 rancid
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  4420 Mar  5  2012 rancid-cvs

Not what I meant.
su - rancid
then do
pwd
then
/var/lib/rancid/bin/rancid-run
Where did "/usr/bin/rancid-run" come from? Because that is different then what you were trying to run before.

Ok, so since I'm following various guides (mostly the "Ubuntu server install), I am assuming that the command is /usr/bin/rancid-run.


rancid at ObserviumNYC:/var/log/rancid$ vi MVSNetwork.20130912.144417
gives me:

what happens when you just run it as the rancid user?

Ok, I have changed the ownership. I made a test config change on a device, ran rancid and exactly the same as:
sudo -i su -c /var/lib/rancid/bin/rancid-run -s /bin/bash -l rancid

gets me:

starting: Thu Sep 12 10:53:28 EDT 2013



ending: Thu Sep 12 10:53:28 EDT 2013

So, the config change doesn't show.

I don't know where to go on this. I can't tell if my Rancid configuration is even working. I'm at the point of testing rancid-run manually to see what happens. I am getting a combination of "Permission Denied" errors on the .cloginrc file, "End of Run Not found" errors, and some others that I excerpted below. That said, I have an example of the file in /var/log/rancid from today and from Friday:



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



gets me:



starting: Thu Sep 12 10:53:28 EDT 2013







ending: Thu Sep 12 10:53:28 EDT 2013



VS:



starting: Fri Sep 6 15:57:50 EDT 2013



/usr/lib/rancid/bin/control_rancid: 206: /usr/lib/rancid/bin/control_rancid: cannot create routers.db: Permission denied



Fix that. chown -R rancid /var/rancid
