Its value -is set by configure and should be modified if rancid is moved to a new -location in the file system without re-installing from the distribution. -.sp -Default: @prefix@ -.\" -.TP -.B CVSROOT -.IR cvs (1) -and -.IR create_cvs (1) -use this environment variable to locate the CVS repository. It should -not be necessary to alter CVSROOT. -.sp -Default: $BASEDIR/CVS -.\" -.TP -.B FILTER_PWDS -Determines which passwords will be filtered from configs. The value may be -"NO", "YES", or "ALL" to filter none of the passwords, only those which are -reversable or plain-text, or all (plus ssh keys, etc), respectively. -.sp -Default: YES -.sp -Note: a value of "NO" could be a security issue since diffs are sent via -e-mail. A value of "ALL" is encouraged. -.sp -Note: -.B FILTER_PWDS -does not affect the handling of SNMP community strings. see -.B NOCOMMSTR -below. -.sp -Note: passwords whose value cycles and would produce erroneous diffs -are always filtered (eg: Alteon passwords). -.\" -.TP -.B LIST_OF_GROUPS -Defines a list of group names of routers separated by white-space. These -names become the directory names in $BASEDIR which contain the data -for that set of devices. -.BR do-diffs (1) -also uses this variable to determine which device groups it should collect. -Choose these names to be descriptive of the set of devices and do not use -spaces, unprintable characters, etc. -.sp -Example: LIST_OF_GROUPS="UofO USFS" -.sp -Two groups are defined; UofO (University of Oregon) and USFS (US Forest -Service). Each will have a directory created (see -.IR create_cvs (1)) -$BASEDIR/UofO and $BASEDIR/USFS respectively, which will contain their data. -.sp -Each group must also have aliases for the administrative and diff recipients -set-up in -.IR /etc/aliases . -For example: -.sp -.in +1i -.nf -@MAILPLUS@uofo: frank -@MAILPLUS@admin-uofo: joe,bob -@MAILPLUS@usfs: frank -@MAILPLUS@admin-usfs: joe,bob -.fi -.sp -.in -1i -.\" -.TP -.B NOCOMMSTR -If set, -.IR rancid (1) -will filter SNMP community strings from configs. Otherwise, they will -be retained and may appear in clear-text in e-mail diffs. By default, -this is not set. -.\" -.TP -.B NOPIPE -If set, -.IR rancid (1) -will use temporary files to save the output from the router and then read -these to build the file which will be saved in CVS. Otherwise, an IPC -pipe will be used. We have found that the buffering mechanisms used in -perl and expect are heinous. Using temporary files may result in a noticeable -improvement in speed. By default, this is not set. -.\" -.TP -.B OLDTIME -Specified as a number of hours, OLDTIME defines how many hours should pass -since a successful collection of a device's configuration and when -.IR control_rancid (1) -should start complaining about failures. The value should be greater than -the number of hours between do-diffs cron runs. -.sp -Default: 4 -.\" -.TP -.B PAR_COUNT -Defines the number of rancid processes that -.IR par (1) -will start simultaneously as -.IR control_rancid (1) -attempts to perform collections. Raising this value will decrease the amount -of time necessary for a complete collection of a (or all) rancid groups at the -expense of system load. The default is relatively cautious. If collections -are not completing quickly enough for users, use trial and error of speed -versus system load to find a suitable value. -.sp -Default: 5 -.\" -.TP -.B PATH -Is a colon separate list of directory pathnames in the the file system -where rancid's -.IR sh (1) -and -.IR perl (1) -scripts should look for the programs that it needs, such as -.IR telnet (1). -Its value is set by configure. Should it be necessary to modify PATH, -note that it must include $BASEDIR/bin (see above). -.\" -.TP -.B TERM -Some Unix utilities require TERM, the terminal type, to be set to a sane -value. The default should suffice. -.sp -Default: network -.\" -.TP -.B TMPDIR -Some Unix utilities recognize TMPDIR as a directory where temporary files -can be stored. In some cases, rancid utilizes this directory for lock -files and other temporary files. -.sp -Default: /tmp -.\" -.PP -Each of these are simply environment variables. In order for them to be -present in the environment of child processes, each must be exported. See -.IR sh (1) -for more information on the built-in command export. -.SH ERRORS -.B env -is interpreted directly by -.IR sh (1), -so its syntax follows that of the bourne shell. Errors -may produce quite unexpected results. -.SH FILES -.Bl -tag -width .BASEDIR/bin/ENV -compact -.TP -.B $BASEDIR/bin/env -Configuration file described here. -.El -.SH SEE ALSO -.BR control_rancid (1), -.BR create_cvs (1), -.BR do-diffs (1), -.BR rancid (1) |
