[rancid] error after migrating to new server

also, it seems you installed it under /usr/bin, best practices for rancid & package management in general is not do this. perhaps install it under the rancid user's homedir & make sure $HOME/bin is in your $PATH first. second option is that you used a vendor provided rancid package instead of building from source, which might not include par. third option is that your cron or whatever scheduler you're using is does not have par in it's $PATH.

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

Trying to get all of the configs.
