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.<br clear="none">

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.<br clear="none">
