Thank you for the reply,



Rancid is working for all Cisco Devices but the Netscreen Firewall is having the problem, I have created a new group for Juniper and it can login into the Firewall OK but doesn't seem to be taking the config down, would you say I need to install CVS in this case?

If rancid is working correctly for other devices then your version control system works.

Are you running the commands manually to get this error?
Is it possible that rancid normally runs as some user (ie. "rancid") but you are running it as a different user (root) ?
Is it one instance of rancid doing everything or a seperate instance/config for the firewalls?

From these logs it's apparent that you either don't have CVS installed, or the user that is running rancid
doesn't have the correct path to the cvs command.
You probably need to "apt-get install cvs" (debian/ubuntu) or "yum install cvs" (redhat/fedora).
Is your rancid installation working for anything or is this the first device you are using rancid for?

if its one cron job, its truely bizarre.

you must be affecting the path environment variable somehow between running
one group and the next.

your cronjob should be similar to

<time spec> <path>/bin/rancid-run

no more is required.

Rancid has been running for the last few years backing up cisco's

I edited the GROUPS in the rancid.conf to include the new netscreen
group

Then I ran rancid-cvs

Test the nlogin to see if it could login under the Rancid user which it
could get into the firewall

I Ran Rancid-run and I get that error my first mail in the logs

NOTE: I had to change some things in the bin/nrancid to get it to run, I
was getting missing curly bracket errors so I added them in to the
correct place and the errors stopped

Crontab -

# rancid

Thank You for your help,
Trevor

is cvs in one of those directories? is that one line, and its just your

From these logs it's apparent that you either don't have CVS installed, or the user that is running rancid
doesn't have the correct path to the cvs command.

You probably need to "apt-get install cvs" (debian/ubuntu) or "yum install cvs" (redhat/fedora).

Is your rancid installation working for anything or is this the first device you are using rancid for?
