Hello. I've recently installed Rancid on a Centos 6. I have worked with it
before a bit but never encountered this issue.

I have hosts assigned in the hosts file. I have the host added in
<group>/router.db
The clogin command works. The clogin -c command works.

The log from run-rancid shows almost empty. I tried running the comands
separately but 'rancid host' gives me a:

loadtype(): device_type is empty
Couldn't load device type spec for

but 'rancid -t cisco host' works. I'm thinking this has to do with rancid
and the group's router.db.

my group is in rancid.conf (LIST_OF_GROUPS="networking") but is the
networking/router.db even read?


Any ideas are helpful, thanks.
