[rancid] cisco ACE / cssrancid flapping config

[Håkan Lindholm Mühlenbock]

How can I avoid getting these changes in the diff mails?

With A3(2.0)

- ntp server 10.10.2.1
- ntp server 10.10.2.15
tacacs-server host 10.10.2.5 key 7 "changeme"
aaa group server tacacs+ TACACS
server 10.10.2.5
+ ntp server 10.10.2.1
+ ntp server 10.10.2.15



With A3(2.3)

- tacacs-server host 172.16.2.5 key 7 "changeme"
- aaa group server tacacs+ TACACS
- server 10.10.2.5
ntp server 10.10.2.1

ntp server 10.10.2.15

+ tacacs-server host 10.10.2.5 key 7 "changeme"
+ aaa group server tacacs+ TACACS
+ server 10.10.2.5


(IP addresses are fake, please ignore if they are not the same. There
shouldn't be no change in the lines, only their order of appearance..)

As these changes don't make sense, I would like to avoid getting email
every time the lines are moved around. Maybe by sorting them, but I
don't know how to do that in rancid.

complain to the TAC that your CSS is not nvgen'ing the configuration
consistently.

It's already known as bug CSCtb95964. It will be fixed in the next release.
I rest my case.
