[rancid] Re: spanning tree/portcost changes causing diffs

What I don't understand is why anyone would want "normal" network activity 1) filling up CVS and 2) causing nuisance
email notifications. Anyone know why the feature was added in the first place? Maybe it was intended as a poor-man's
network monitoring tool, but it's a real pain on a larger enterprise. The sheer bulk of nuisance notifications by email
has caused my organization to ignore rancid notifications altogether.

Laker,
So in other words you don't want to see them even in the CVS repo correct? Filtering them out of the email is cake. 1
change to control_rancid and you are good to go.
