<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>I
use rancid to backup all of my configurations, including two Cisco ASA
5520’s. The only problem I have run into is that when rancid backs up the
configs on the ASA, the actual preshared keys are displayed as an asterisk (*)
rather than the actual preshared key.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Is
there a way to get rancid to backup the actual config file? I assume it’s
just doing a screen scrape (sh running-config) and capturing the output rather
than copying the actual file. This is fine for most equipment, but if I
have a failure on the ASA and needed to restore the config, I would have to
re-enter all the preshared keys (not fun with several hundred tunnels).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
