Hi,

I see x.tfhbomgmt.de and x.tfh-bochum.de in your post. Maybe one works and
the other does not? Are you maybe developing on one machine and running
rancid itself on another? -> firewall issues?

I suppose you are running all commands as the rancid user, even when calling
them manually?

Bye,

Marki
