It seems that there is no ‘hurancid’ file in your RANCIDBASE/bin directory. Can you confirm that?
I think you have to ‘configure’, ’make’ and ’make install’ to create the ‘hurancid’ file after you place these files in your ‘
/rancid/bin’ directory.
Please try this in a testing environment first.

I’ve never worked with rancid and Huawei products so I don’t know for sure if I can help you but I found a (maybe) helpful link:

Can't tell you if they've been subsequently modified, but the h3clogin and
h3crancid were originally written by me, based on some earlier work of
others, and published here:

https://sites.google.com/site/jrbinks/code/rancid/h3c

I then had to make a lot of changes, and modified for rancid 3, producing:

https://sites.google.com/site/jrbinks/code/rancid/cmwrancid

The versions I run locally are advanced from these, but I've no idea of
whether they are in a state to be published - I have practically zero
development time these days. But if I do, I will mention here.

I only have access to 3Com/HP Comware 3 devices, HP/H3C Comware 5 and
HP(E) Comware 7 devices. I have no Huawei, but a few people who have
tried some models and reported some success, or fed back further changes.

Jethro.
