every time a config is saved on an IOS router/switch. ("write mem"/"copy
run start")
it will generate a diff report due to time stamp changes of the flash
files:

  !
  !Flash: Directory of flash:/
  !Flash:   2  -rwx         109   Mar 01 1993 02:04:01  info

  !

does it make sense to track those changes ?
does anyone have a workaround for this ?  or just filter it out ?
