[rancid] Entries disappear and re appear.

> We have an issue whereby rancid is pulling configs and showing that an entry has disappeared and then the next config check the entry is back. This is happening on a Cisco ASA and also on a Mikrotik. 

We're still running 3.6.1, and haven't seen any such issues with any of our ASA's (None are running version 9 though).

Does it only happen when rancid is run from cron? Or can you reproduce when running rancid manually?

Overall, our experience with Mikrotiks have been pretty poor.
They frequently drop their entire config from the output, or selectively random blocks of config (Interfaces, GPS, firmware and version stats), but we just summed that up as another of Mikrotik's long line of humble quirks.

Hello everyone,

We have an issue whereby rancid is pulling configs and showing that an entry has disappeared and then the next config check the entry is back. This is happening on a Cisco ASA and also on a Mikrotik. 

For the Mikrotik, it shows that the console port name changed to nothing and then the next time shows that it came back as serial0. The name is not actually changing. 

For the ASA, the entry !BootFlash: BOOT variable = disk0:/asa917-19-k8.bin will show in one config and the next time it shows !BootFlash: BOOT variable = 

The boot variable is not actually changing, so I have to wonder if this is a bug.

We are running rancid version 3.8.

Has anyone run into these issues and is there a fix for them?

Best,

-Troy
