Is there a way I can get rancid to ignore this one line when it does the diff?

Or, how to I keep this file from being touched with each rancid-run?

That's a known bug in v8.2 of the ASA software. It was fixed in
v8.2(1.2) and later. See the following link for details.

Thank you, Ron and Lance for the quick responses. After posting I
found this, as well:

We're doing an upgrade on the ASA tonight. :)
