vlan.dat always new?

[Koontz, Philip]

I have noticed similar behavior with msfc's in hybrid mode.  Rancid
emails a change to nv_hdr every hour but no config changes have been
made.

- !Flash:     4  -rwx          36  Aug 16 2005 12:04:39 -04:00  nv_hdr
+ !Flash:     4  -rwx          36  Aug 16 2005 13:04:56 -04:00  nv_hdr

Thanks
-Phil

Subject: vlan.dat always new?

I searched my archive and didn't find anything on this.  Our most
recently 
added (newest software) 3550 running 12.1(22)EA5 always says its
vlan.dat 
is "new/recently modified" according to its timestamp.  The result is 
switch config-diffs emailed to us every time rancid runs.

- !Flash:     3  -rwx         720  Aug 31 2005 10:11:32 -04:00  vlan.dat
+ !Flash:     3  -rwx         720  Aug 31 2005 12:08:51 -04:00  vlan.dat

The switch doing this is the 10th switch in a VTP domain where all 10 
switches are vtp servers.  It's the only one doing this (so far).  This 
really isn't a "rancid problem"...more of a garbage in... problem.  I
just 
wonder if others have noticed this and if there's a known workaround?
