[rancid] Creating RANCID Subgroups

[Baird, Josh]

Could someone give me some hints on how to create SUB-GROUPS within Rancid?
I found some old clues on the list about using this syntax:



LIST_OF_GROUPS="company/router company/switch, etc"



This does work to some extent.. rancid-cvs creates the repositories, but it
breaks several other scripts (rancid-run, etc). They take the "/" literally
when writing to /tmp etc (it tries to write to /tmp/company/bleh, not
/tmp/bleh). Does anyone know how to properly support sub-groups, or how to
properly mod RANCID to be able to support this?



I am using RANCID 2.3.2a9.



Thanks,



Jjosh

afaict, there is little value in such a feature. just use company_switches
