Re: [rancid] Rancid not updating

[o...@leferguson.com]

Start by looking in the log file (usually in the rancid directory structure, 
try ~/var/rancid/logs (though I think depending on how installed it may be 
elsewhere).  Find the latest log, look at it, see what is happening.

If it's not there (i.e. no logs) rancid is probably not starting.  Restarting 
it depends on linux variant, but if a reboot is possible just reboot.

If the log is there and it gives an error, start with that as it should give a 
clue.  Post results if you need further help after seeing that.

There are also lots of debugging postings on the net (just try searching for 
rancid debug), indeed one technique is to follow the install instructions after 
the install where it describes how to test login, etc.

Subject: [rancid] Rancid not updating

Community;


I am new to the company, and my predecessor had setup Rancid to collect all our 
configs and do the comparisons.  He also used CVS to display the configs on a 
webpage.  I have no experience with Rancid nor CVS and I was wondering if I 
could get some assistance.   Here is my issue.  I am a Windows guy, and am 
learning Linux.



I made a small change on one of my routers to SNMP, and wanted to see if Rancid 
would pick it up.  The date on the file still shows 7 months ago, and not the 
change I made earlier today.  We make changes almost daily for VLANS, etc, and 
nothing is showing updated.



The schedule to download and send config difference emails is every hour.  I 
have seen multiple emails, but nothing with my change in it.  I also went into 
the Rancid directory structure in Linux and the date in there is also 7 months 
old.  Is there anything you can do to assist?


Thank you!

its a command that comes with rancid.  my guess is one of

- you copied rancid from another machine and missed it
- the pre-built package you installed is broken
- you copied rancid.conf from another machine and its PATH doesnt match,
  so it cant find par.
- you deleted it somehow
- you're using an old version of rancid, when par was a perl script, and
  the interpretter line is wrong
- par lacks executable mode bits

[rancid] FortiGate login banner

[Ni Ne]

If you configure a login banner to FortiGates, you have to accept it before you 
can login to the device. This pops up after entering the password, and you are 
prompted with:

$banner-message
(Press 'a' to accept):

I successfully tested these small changes to fnlogin (version 3.8, build 3763) 
to automatically accept the login banner. The lines between the hash-marks were 
added to the fnlogin script.

---

-re "@\[^\r\n]+\[Pp]assword:"   {
  # ssh pwd prompt
  sleep 1
  send -- "$userpswd\r"
  exp_continue
}
-re "$p_prompt" {
  sleep 1;
  if {$uprompt_seen == 1} {
send -- "$userpswd\r"
  } else {
send -- "$passwd\r"
  }
  exp_continue
}
### accept banner
"(Press 'a' to accept):" {
send "a\r"
exp_continue
}
### accept banner /end
-- "$prompt"{ break; }
 }
}
set in_proc 0
return 0
}

Re: [rancid] error after migrating to new server

[Charles T. Brooks]

The "file" command says it's an executable image, not a script.

[charlie@gitdrome ~]# file /usr/libexec/rancid/par

/usr/libexec/rancid/par: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), 
dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.32, 
BuildID[sha1]=968bbb9325486639b0fd1294bebcfef7c67317ed, stripped

If you've found the correct par (and not one of the other programs of the same 
name) then like Nick said you need to make sure it's in the PATH of the user 
executing rancid-run.

Re: [rancid] error after migrating to new server

[Nick Nauwelaerts]

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.
