I laugh whenever I see RANCID mentioned. I implemented RANCID at a previous job to just save configs and it had a funny effect of making all the support staff more aware of changes they were making, because everyone would get notified of the change. I was recently looking at installing RANCID again and read a familiar testimonial on shrubbery.net.
Some folks seem to like "testimonials", so here's my favorite one: /...I have noticed a behaviour change since implementing RANCID. The entire NOC team gets an email when a config change is made. The result is everyone is cautious about making changes on the fly, and any changes that are made are quickly explained by the changer. Before, changes would be made and if it broke something.....silence. So, at the very least we have fewer **problems** that magically appear. -- Jason Lewis/ jas Justin Shore wrote: > I 2nd RANCID.
