<p class=MsoNormal>Hi<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I have just installed RANCID on my machine, and have it collecting
data from one firewall. What I would like is some kind of differential on
this however as it seems to simply overwrite the old configuration with the new
one.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I have read the documentation that I can find, and cannot
see anything about keeping old versions of the log files. The reason for
wanting this is that the firewall config often gets changed and there is the
possible requirement that we will need to roll back the config a few days.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Many thanks for any help anyone can provide.<o:p></o:p></p>
