[rancid] Re: What is the idea behind of LIST_OF_GROUPS?

[Tony Tauber]

The idea is if you have bunches of devices which may fall into different
groups of interest so people can get the update email or browse configs
according to their area(s) of responsibility or interest.

If your network or organization isn't structured this way, all can go
into one group.
