[rancid] rancid don't create configurations files

[Arne Larsen / Region Nordjylland]

Hi all

Can someone help me out.
I've install rancid on a Centos5, and configured it as I belive it should, but I don't get any configurations into the file structure.
If I run .cloginrc -c " sh run " and pipe it into a file I get the configuration of the router.
If I run rancid-run, and at the same time do a tcpdump then I can see the connect to the router from rancid and also a lot off packets being transferred from the router to rancid.
But I never get a list of configurations files.
I don't get a log file in /var/log either.
What can I be missing here. I run rancid-run as rancid user.
Here is the extensions of the created file.: -rw-r----- 1 rancid rancid 0 Dec 10 20:49 testsw1

/Arne

Rancid should generate a logfile in like /usr/local/var/rancid/logs depending on where you have installed rancid.
In these logs, you should see some kind of an error. The logfile is named "thegroup.date.time"

I believe he fixed this by re-installing rancid under the "rancid" user.
It was apparently a permissions issue.
