Thanks for the quick reply. I am pretty much a RANCID newbie but I want to answer your question:<br>
</span></font><font color="#1f497d" face="Calibri"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d"><br>
Which section does it occur in?</span></font><br>
<br>
How could I find out what section this is happening.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>

<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'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>
