<DIV>Hello All,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am using rancid for a couple of days now, I think that it is so powerful but I have noticed that sometimes diffs are fake?!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>For example:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Index: configs/192.168.0.1</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>===================================================================</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Retrieving revision 1.2</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Diff -u -4 -r1.2 192.168.0.1</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>@@ -177,9 +177,9 @@</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2> !VTP: VTP Traps Generation : Disabled</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2> !VTP: MD5 digest : 0xBE 0x8F 0x7E 0x1A 0x3E 0xFF 0x6A 0x94</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2> !VTP: Local updater ID is 172.16.200.104 on interface Vl1 (lowest numbered VLAN interface found)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2> !</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>- !VLAN: ^</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>+ !VLAN: ^</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2> !</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2> Config-register 0xF</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2> Version 12.2</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2> No service pad</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I understand that rancid assumed that there is a difference in the line because the number of spaces has changed? But this didn't indicate a difference in the configuration?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It also happens with "show vlan". I always receive a mail indicating that there is a difference in the configuration where in fact I find that it is just that the lines has changed somehow?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Is there a way I could fix this issue?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Regards,</DIV>
