man rancid.conf (Formats) - rancid environment configuration file
NAME
rancid.conf - rancid environment configuration file
DESCRIPTION
rancid.conf contains environment configuration information for rancid-run(1) and rancid(1) including shell PATH, list of rancid groups, etc. and is read by several scripts at run-time, including rancid-run(1).
The syntax of rancid.conf is that of sh(1). rancid.conf is used to set environment variables used by other rancid scripts to effect their run-time behavior or to enable them to find their resources.
VARIABLES
The following variables are used (listed alphabetically):
ERRORS
rancid.conf is interpreted directly by sh(1), so its syntax follows that of the bourne shell. Errors may produce quite unexpected results.
FILES
SEE ALSO
control_rancid(1), rancid(1), rancid-cvs(1), rancid-run(1)
HISTORY
In RANCID releases prior to 2.3, rancid.conf was named env and located in the bin directory. This was changed to be more consistent with common file location practices.
