On OpenBSD, RANCID lives and works in /var/rancid, with user id _rancid.
|
|
|
|
Quick Installation Guide (an example):
|
|
|
|
1) Modify ${SYSCONFDIR}/rancid.conf. The variable LIST_OF_GROUPS is a space
|
|
delimited list of router "groups".
|
|
e.g.:
|
|
LIST_OF_GROUPS="backbone aggregation switches"
|
|
|
|
2) Create /var/rancid/.cloginrc, with read/write permissions only for
|
|
the _rancid user, e.g. 0600 or 0640.
|
|
|
|
Review ${TRUEPREFIX}/share/examples/rancid/cloginrc.sample for examples
|
|
and a good starting point. See also cloginrc(5).
|
|
|
|
Test to make sure that you can login to every router.
|
|
|
|
3) Set up mail aliases, by modifing /etc/mail/aliases. Rancid
|
|
sends the diffs and other administrative emails to rancid-<GROUP> and
|
|
problems to rancid-admin-<GROUP>, where <GROUP> is the "GROUP" of
|
|
routers. This way you can separate your backbone routers from your
|
|
access routers or separate based upon network.
|
|
|
|
4) Initialize RANCID CVS repository with `rancid-cvs' as the _rancid
|
|
user. This creates all of the necessary directories and config files
|
|
for each of the groups in LIST_OF_GROUPS and imports them into CVS.
|
|
This will also need to be run each time a new group is added. Do not
|
|
create the directories or CVS repository manually, allow rancid-cvs
|
|
do it. See also rancid-cvs(1).
|
|
|
|
5) For each "group", modify the router.db file in the group directory.
|
|
The file is of the form "router:mfg:state", where "router" is
|
|
the name (we use FQDN) of the router, mfg is the manufacturer from
|
|
the set of (cat5|cisco|juniper), and "state" is either up or down.
|
|
Each router listed as "up" will have the configuration grabbed.
|
|
Note: manufacturer cat5 is intended only for cisco catalyst switches
|
|
running catalyst (not IOS) code. See also router.db(5).
|
|
|
|
6) For first-time users or new installations, run `rancid-run' (with no
|
|
arguments) as the user _rancid and check the resulting log file(s)
|
|
(in /var/rancid/logs/*) for errors. Repeat until there are no
|
|
errors.
|
|
|
|
7) Put `rancid-run' in _rancid's crontab to be called however often you
|
|
want it to run for each group (rancid-run [<GROUP>]). If you run it
|
|
less often than once/hour, check the setting of OLDTIME in
|
|
${SYSCONFDIR}/rancid.conf.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
# run config differ hourly
|
|
1 * * * * ${TRUEPREFIX}/bin/rancid-run
|
|
# clean out config differ logs
|
|
50 23 * * * /usr/bin/find /var/rancid/logs -type f -mtime +2 -exec rm {} \;
