Ok,****

Not what I meant.****
su - rancid****
then do
pwd
then
/var/lib/rancid/bin/rancid-run****
Where did "/usr/bin/rancid-run" come from? Because that is different then
what you were trying to run before. ****

** **
**
Ok, so since I’m following various guides (mostly the “Ubuntu server
install), I am assuming that the command is /usr/bin/rancid-run.****

I don’t know where to go on this. I can’t tell if my Rancid configuration
is even working. I’m at the point of testing rancid-run manually to see
what happens. I am getting a combination of “Permission Denied” errors on
the .cloginrc file, “End of Run Not found” errors, and some others that I
excerpted below. That said, I have an example of the file in
/var/log/rancid from today and from Friday:****
