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

[Wagner Pereira]

Thank you guys, Bob and Tony.

Now I see: I can separate groups of devices AND configure one mailbox 
for each group of device. That way, each group of people will receive an 
e-mail message for their specific group of equipments.

Is that right?

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.
