[rancid] wrangling configs with RANCID (right for non-Cisco vendors?)

[Rogelio]

Apologies is this has been answered before (just joined the litstserv
today and am still wrapping my mind around RANCID).

Can RANCID work on non-standard equipment, particularly ones that DO
NOT allow you to output something nice and "scriptable" (e.g. Cisco's
"show running-config"). A horrid networking appliance got shoved down
our NOC's throat, and it does not output a config that is easily
copy/paste-able.  Because this appliance is extremely important, we're
looking to keep track of (and alert on) config changes.

(If not RANCID, any other suggestions?)
