<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">From the diff, it looks to me like it is seeing a change in the config. (The ‘exit’ command in this case).</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">But the config on the device did not change. I see this moderately frequently – it ranges from every few days to several times a day.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">It does not happen on all devices.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Try running the diff on the cli and check whitespace? Diff is a pretty base-level thing, so it's not rancid that's tripping but something in the actual config which makes it see a difference, but it's something
that doesn't show up on-screen.<br>
<br>
If it is whitespace then there might be an error in the rancid script that parses lines and adds a space, or there might be something in the router that leaves whitespace where it shouldn't. Either way, it should be correctable by having the rancid script
remove the offending stuff.<br>
