Hi,

I actually installed Rancid over 5 years ago
 and its time for a fresh install. It’s still beats me up pretty bad :)

I’m installing from source on Ubuntu Trusty.

I’m trying to configure this for a Dell Power Connect 5448 and a Juniper SSG-5. I recalled in the past that drancid was needed. Going without that assumption this time.

Here is my .cloginrc

=======
add user firewall1.toronto.terida.net rancid
add password firewall1.toronto.terida.net BEEFCAKE
add method firewall1.toronto.terida.net ssh

add user switch1.toronto.terida.net rancid
add password switch1.toronto.terida.net BEEFCAKE
add method switch1.toronto.terida.net telnet
add autoenable switch1.toronto.terida.net {1}
========

And here is my router.db

switch1.toronto.terida.net:smc:up
firewall1.toronto.terida.net:netscreen:up

=========

***@default-ubuntu-1404:/usr/local/rancid/var$ rm logs/*;rancid-run
***@default-ubuntu-1404:/usr/local/rancid/var$ vim logs/terida.20150623.185731

starting: Tue Jun 23 18:57:31 UTC 2015



ending: Tue Jun 23 18:57:31 UTC 2015
==========

my rancid.conf is pretty plain right now. I setup a LIST_OF_GROUPS and left the rest as default for now.

Cool eh?

Not sure next steps.

If you installed the latest and greatest (3.x+), your router.db needs updated to use the proper delimiters (semicolons now instead of colons to allow for IPv6 addresses).

Example:
Hostname;cisco;up

Yup. That was it everyone. Thanks muchly. Frustrating.. but simple :)

the Juniper started working right away. I have some issues with the dell but I’ll make a separate thread about that once i do some debuggin.
