We have written an PHP page for running rancid for a certain device and adding 
CVS comments just like John noted in the
e-mail before. By using this method you can make your configuration changes and 
afterwards run rancid and add comments
to the config changes. This should help with adding the why factor to the 
configuration changes.

Regards,
 Mark
