makerancidconf default bug

[ollyg]

MakeRancidConf , seems to work great, expect when I tried to change "default_group: default" parameter to something else . When I run netdisco-do makerancidconf -D , it still create a group called "default"

can't reproduce this with 2.076004.

copied rancid's etc dir to /tmp/testranc/etc/ & created /tmp/testranc/var/ with the right subdirs but no files & ran just fine. perhaps a permission or config issue?

i did notice tried to change "default_group: default" where default is not in single quotes (it is in the manpage & my config).

on my test netdisco setup:

rancid:
  rancid_cvsroot:  '/tmp/testranc/var'         # default
  rancid_conf:     '/tmp/testranc/etc'         # default
  down_age:        '1 day'                      # default
  delimiter:       ';'                          # default
  default_group:   'hk'                         # default
  vendormap:
    cisco-sb:      'group:grp-ciscosb'
  groups:
    hk:            'group:grp-hk-core'
    aerohive:      'group:grp-hiveos'
    rwzi:          'group:grp-ciscosb'
  by_hostname:     'any'
  by_ip:           'group:grp-ciscosb'

& netdisco do output: router.db for "hk" & "rwzi" were created. disregard the rest, since not everything is in sync with actual network as it is?

Hi, I ran into the same issue.
@inphobia that works because you also have defined "hk" group in "groups" .
Default group is supposed used when no device is matched in groups, or if there are no groups defined.
Remove the groups and change the default group name, and it will create a "default" named folder , instead of the specified name
