<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Hello,<br>
<br>
We are running version of 2.3.8 of RANCID. The problem we are having is that every hour RANCID detects a change in the config and so it posts a new page even though no chance has occurred. It detects the line:<br>
<br>
!Time: Wed Oct 17 06:00:06 2012<br>
<br>
<br>
has changed from the hour before, so I guess technically a change has occurred and RANCID is doing what it was designed to do. However we are getting spammed with versions that really don&#39;t tell us when an important change has been made. This is only a problem
 on the NEXUS switches. Everything else works fine.<br>
<br>
Question:<br>
<br>
1. Is there a way to tell RANCID to ignore the line that begins with !Time?<br>
<br>
Thanks for any help you can give<br>
<br>
Pedro <u></u><u></u></span></font></p>
