[rancid] problem with CSS order

[Martin Björkman]

Hi!

I'm having a very interesting problem with my rancid installation. It works
really well for the other models but this one Cisco CSS11501 is giving me a
headache :)

Basically, the problem being is that it doesn't take much care in regards to
the order in which it presents the information within a VIP for example,
which means I will get a rancid mail every time looking much like this:

--
content XXX_S_CMS
vip address xx.xx.xx.xx
- protocol tcp
port 80
+ protocol tcp
add service XXX-SI-CMS01
active
--
same thing happens with the routes where they get presented in different
order every time..
I've really tried googling the issue but came up empty. Is this a known
problem and if so how do I solve it?
Is there a setting in the CSS to remedy this or is it possible to "sort" the
text before comitting to CVS?

Thanks for all suggestions

Martin

its occured a few times with specific IOS versions. its an error in the
nv generator and is often corrected when reported to the Cisco TAC. It
may already be corrected in a more recent version of the IOS for this
device. please check on that. the alternative is adding code to parse
configuration related to this "sub-config mode" and sort the contents.
