It is only a template since you have to customize it for your environ and create additional config files in the ~rancid home directory + mail/aliases entries +tacacs / radius accounts (or what ever you use for tools for authentication/authorisation in your network) ... Given for this port I find it more handy to have a the folder etc/rancid with a template the an empty folder with a .keepme file and a message from where I can copy the template. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/cvs-all To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
