[rancid] Citrix NetScaler / nsrancid "Last modified" lines

[Matthew Walster]

Hi Roman,

I for one want to see these "last modified" lines as otherwise I have no
idea when the change occurred -- especially if RANCID is only set to run
once a day or similar and I'm tracking down an issue.

Ideally what would happen is that when a particular syslog line is seen
"commit/saved" etc, then RANCID would run on that device immediately, and
yes, your patch would be a good thing to apply.

Or, as I'm not familiar with that product, could it be that this line is
changing every single time RANCID runs and not just when there has been a
config change?

Cheers,


Matthew Walster
