[rancid] Re: Cisco ASA 8.2 software - changes....

[Peter Serwe]

Anybody running a configuration management system that checks the same
things is going to log the change,
it just so happens that rancid is particularly complete about checking for
differences.

For that matter, rancid isn't really a full-fledged configuration management
system, but most of what anyone really
wants to use one for is encompassed in rancid's functionality.  Any
functioning configuration differ that is as complete
as rancid would pick up the changes, it just so happens that most people
don't run one, or look at the diffs, because
the rest of them don't email out the changes like rancid does out of the
box.

I haven't noticed, FWIW, the same behavior in the 7.2.4 branch.
