Certain files are not displayed in rancid. Take a look at ShowFlash
and DirSlotN in rancid to see which files are not displayed. eg
# Filter dhcp database
next if (/dhcp_[^. ]*\.txt/);

I added a 'redacted' variable - eg:
if (/dhcp[-_]database\s*$/) { # -LR- ignore
dhcp database changes
$redacted = 1; # -LR-
remember that a file has not been displayed
next; # -LR-
} # -LR-

and then suppress the bytes free line if files have not been displayed:
if (/.*\(\d+ bytes (free|used)\)/) { # -LR- want to
show bytes free?
if ($redacted) { next; } # -LR- not
when there are files that haven't been shown
} # -LR-
