Hi,

I am trying to integrate RANCID for Observium, however the basic installation of rancid on Ubuntu 12.04 eludes me.

Most tuts out there are for 11.04, or are quite dated.

I have gotten to the point where running sudo su -c /var/lib/rancid/bin/rancid-cvs -s /bin/bash -l rancid

Should produce the right files. I don’t get that, rather I get this:

rancid@ObserviumNYC:/$ sudo su -c /var/lib/rancid/bin/rancid-cvs -s /bin/bash -l rancid

/var/lib/rancid/bin/rancid-cvs: 73: /etc/rancid/rancid.conf: rancid-Amsterdam::: not found

/var/lib/rancid/bin/rancid-cvs: 74: /etc/rancid/rancid.conf: rancid-admin-Amsterdam:: not found

/var/lib/rancid/bin/rancid-cvs: 75: /etc/rancid/rancid.conf: rancid-New_York:: not found

/var/lib/rancid/bin/rancid-cvs: 76: /etc/rancid/rancid.conf: rancid-admin-New_York:: not found

If anyone had successfully done this, I need some steps that I seem to be missing. I had installed cvs, manually.

I do have /etc/aliases with some entries like:

rancid-Amsterdam: noc        */should that be noc@emailaddress??/*
