<div class=Section1>
<p class=MsoNormal>Hello everyone. I’m probably the newest member
of the list as I am just getting started with Rancid and I could use some
assistance.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I’m trying to get Rancid set up on a CentOS 5.2 server.
This is now my second attempt as I blew away the first setup to try to start
over when things got too messed up.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I followed the instructions from <a
href="http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/wiki/index.php/Quick_HOWTO_:_Ch1_:_Network_Backups_With_Rancid">http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/wiki/index.php/Quick_HOWTO_:_Ch1_:_Network_Backups_With_Rancid</a>
using the newest alpha version of Rancid: <span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><a
href="ftp://ftp.shrubbery.net/pub/rancid/rancid-2.3.2a9.tar.gz">rancid-2.3.2a9.tar.gz</a>.
The only change was the directory location of /opt/rancid instead of
/usr/local/rancid. </span>I also set up cvsweb to make it easy to browse
the configs.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Rancid will query the routers successfully and dump the
configs into /opt/rancid/var/networking/configs, but in the
/opt/rancid/var/CVS/networking/configs there is nothing except ./Attic because
rancid-run deletes them all after it puts them in. It works for router.db
and will notify me of changes to that, but it doesn’t work for any of the
router config files.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Furthermore, every time rancid-run runs, it also emails me
this:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>The following routers have not been successfully
contacted for more than 24 hours.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>-rw-r----- 1 rancid netadm 24234 Mar 4 01:06
192.168.1.1<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>-rw-r----- 1 rancid netadm 2744 Mar 4 01:06
192.168.1.254<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>… and so on for all of them.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I’ve looked through the FAQ, readme, man pages, and lots
of web searches and I can’t figure it out.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Below I’ve put all the information that I think is
necessary to solve the problem, but if there is anything else that is needed,
just let me know and I’ll add that later.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>If someone can help me figure out this strange behavior, I would
be very grateful. If it turns out to be a bug, I’ll submit a
report.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thank you in advance.<o:p></o:p></p>
