Mailing List Archive: Newbie Problem

Greetings All,

I seem to be missing something basic with rancid 2.2.2 . I don't
seem to be saving the configurations.... Any

clogin and rancid seem to work fine. When I run do-diff however, I never
save a config file, or get a config.new file. Subsequent runs with small
changes to the router do not generate mail, because the checked in
config seems to be zero length. Putting a NOPIPE=YES; export NOPIPE
into the env file lets me see the .raw file get bigger with each
iteration of rancid... but I don't see the config changing anywhere or
being saved. The routername and routername.new are of zero length.

This is the log file from do-diffs ....

Which looks good, and makes a .new file, but it still runs all 4 times.
I am looking at the rancid code but I fear I am not man enough. Any help
would be appriciated.

Ahh... Much better. 2.3beta resolved the issue.

Thank you very much.
