vlan.dat always new?
I searched my archive and didn't find anything on this. Our most recently
added (newest software) 3550 running 12.1(22)EA5 always says its vlan.dat
is "new/recently modified" according to its timestamp. The result is
switch config-diffs emailed to us every time rancid runs.

- !Flash: 3 -rwx 720 Aug 31 2005 10:11:32 -04:00 vlan.dat
+ !Flash: 3 -rwx 720 Aug 31 2005 12:08:51 -04:00 vlan.dat

The switch doing this is the 10th switch in a VTP domain where all 10
switches are vtp servers. It's the only one doing this (so far). This
really isn't a "rancid problem"...more of a garbage in... problem. I just
wonder if others have noticed this and if there's a known workaround?

vlan.dat always new? [ In reply to ]
I have noticed similar behavior with msfc's in hybrid mode. Rancid
emails a change to nv_hdr every hour but no config changes have been
made.

- !Flash: 4 -rwx 36 Aug 16 2005 12:04:39 -04:00 nv_hdr
+ !Flash: 4 -rwx 36 Aug 16 2005 13:04:56 -04:00 nv_hdr

Thanks
